Mexican catering near Abbey Wood
How our Mexican catering works in Abbey Wood
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. At leaving parties and weddings and evening receptions, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos for your guests.
Around Abbey Wood, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. All of Greater London, Abbey Wood included, is inside the ULEZ. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

A closer look at the menu

Common questions in Abbey Wood
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint Michael and All Angels?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Is parking a problem for events in Abbey Wood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What space do you need?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Perfect for your event in Abbey Wood
Every order goes out hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.

- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
As a London location, Abbey Wood is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
