Mexican catering for Abbey Gate events
Mexican catering in Abbey Gate, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. At anniversaries and engagements and festivals, fairs and markets, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas for your guests.
Somewhere like Abbey Gate, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
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.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A December event in Abbey Gate will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day

Abbey Gate: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Abbey Gate from central London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
