FAQs for Fairlands
Is it possible to have you in Chitty's Common?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Fairlands?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
What space do you need?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Mexican catering for your event in Fairlands
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. Popular choices include burritos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits weddings and evening receptions and anniversaries and engagements.
Somewhere as small as Fairlands, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Events we cater in Fairlands
Food is cooked to order and served hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We’re happy to cater:
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Family celebrations
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Garden parties
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Worplesdon Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Food, drinks or both
- How long we are needed on site
- How many guests we are serving
- What the venue already provides
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Where the event is
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Count children separately
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. A December event in Fairlands will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Getting a price
