Mexican street food near Gatton
Event catering near Gatton
Gatton is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. From the centre of Gatton to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 17 miles away.
PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Lime Tree Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. Organisers looking at Nutfield Marshes as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. Shows and fairs in the Surrey Hills National Landscape, about 6 miles from Gatton at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it.

Nearby, we also cater events in South Merstham (1 mile east), Holmethorpe (1 mile south-east), Merstham (1 mile north-east), Mugswell (1 mile north-west) and Redhill (2 miles south).

What to look for in a quote

- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Distance and access to the venue
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want service to start
The quickest way to a quote is to send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
How it compares
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A plan agreed before the day
- We cover Gatton and the whole of Surrey
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. For an evening event in Gatton, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us what power and water the site has
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
