About our corporate Mexican catering in Monks Orchard
Menus are agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, pork carnitas or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. At end-of-year and Christmas parties and thank-you lunches for staff, we can serve burritos, tacos and burrito bowls and more.
Around Monks Orchard, office events tend to use courtyards, forecourts and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve a food truck, and loading needs planning. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
FAQs for Monks Orchard

Yes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets, and allergen information is available for every dish.

Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. For a Christmas party in Monks Orchard, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the serving area and queue need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check the date and the site.
- You choose the menu.
- We send the paperwork your venue asks for.
- Your team orders at the hatch or builds their own at the taco bar.
- Service runs to time, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
In Monks Orchard, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it compares
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. We bring our own kitchen, needing a suitable spot, access and approval from the site. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
