Wedding Mexican catering near The Sands
Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in The Sands
For weddings in The Sands and nearby, we can cater one part of the day or both main meals. Share your plans and we will suggest a menu. For informal wedding breakfasts and engagement celebrations, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near The Sands, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. In The Sands, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

The Sands questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
We’re having a ceremony at The Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cater in The Sands?
Yes, we do. The Sands is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.

The Sands weddings: local tips
The Sands is about 2 miles east of Farnham, in Surrey. Weddings in The Sands are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 395 towns and villages across Surrey. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 8 miles away.
Historic houses near The Sands include Farnham Castle (2.8 miles west) and Wanborough Manor (3.6 miles north-east). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on outside caterers and vehicles. Wedding guests without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Farnham station, about 2.3 miles west. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 7 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer.
Here we cover the GU10 postcode area, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include The Green, Binton Lane and Botany Hill, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For weddings just outside The Sands, we cover Runfold (1 mile west), Sandy Cross (1 mile north), Compton (1 mile west), Seale (1 mile north-east) and Tongham (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (8 miles east), Woking (10 miles north-east), Camberley (9 miles north), Frimley (7 miles north), Haslemere (9 miles south) and Cranleigh (12 miles south-east).

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a larger team. We bring our kitchen with us, and a taco bar feels more relaxed. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for wedding Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

- Serving staff
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
