Mexican catering for Merrow events
Mexican catering for your event in Merrow
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve loaded nachos, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits festivals, fairs and markets and summer garden parties.
In and around Merrow, gardens and local halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Catering an event in Merrow
Merrow is about 2 miles east of Guildford, in Surrey. Wherever your event is in the GU1 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. Merrow is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover.
Guests leaving a church like Church of St John the Evangelist after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. A gathering in Riverside Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Merrow is within about 4 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.
For Mexican catering in GU1 and GU4, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Park Lane, Grove Road and Wykeham Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Merrow for Mexican catering include Burpham (1 mile north-west), Abbotswood (1 mile west), West Clandon (2 miles north-east), Guildford (2 miles west) and Chilworth (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Woking (5 miles north), Camberley (11 miles north-west), Epsom (13 miles north-east), Farnham (12 miles west), Ewell (14 miles north-east) and Egham (13 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Guildford Castle (2.1 miles south-west) and Surrey Infantry Museum (0.6 miles north-east). The countryside around Merrow includes St Martha's Hill and Colyer's Hanger and Silent Pool.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Merrow: your questions answered

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Before you choose a spot

The process
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Merrow until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
