Mexican catering for your event in Shere
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for leaving parties and fundraisers and school events, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere like Shere, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate.
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing. We can plan a dairy-free version.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Catering an event in Shere
Shere is about 5 miles east of Guildford, in Surrey. For an event in Shere, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We cover 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
A school such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Guests arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Gomshall station, about 1.1 miles east. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about a mile of Shere, 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 GU5, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Lower Street, Orchard Road and Shere Lane or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Gomshall (1 mile east), Albury Heath (1 mile south-west), Little London (1 mile south-west), Albury (1 mile west) and Abinger Hammer (1 mile east).

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December event in Shere 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.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

Other catering in Shere
Shere: your questions answered
Do you cater 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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Colekitchen Down?
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 will send what they need from us.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What are your prices?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
