Running an event in Pains-Hill
Pains-Hill is about 6 miles south-east of Caterham, in Surrey. From the centre of Pains-Hill to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Croydon, about 10 miles away.
A fundraiser for a church like St Andrew's might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Limpsfield CofE Infant School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

For event organisers in Pains-Hill
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
