About our Mexican catering in Gomshall
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Gomshall and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there’s safe access. At weddings and evening receptions and company summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a small place like Gomshall, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Give us separate numbers for children
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Around Gomshall, historic houses include Hatchlands Park (2.9 miles north) and Clandon Park (3.4 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one.
