Common questions in Bankside
Is parking a problem for events in Bankside?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary Mounthaw?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
About our Mexican catering in Bankside
Need taco catering in Bankside? Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It works well for retirement and leaving parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos.
In Bankside, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For event organisers in Bankside
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

What else we do in Bankside
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter evenings in Bankside close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

- If the price includes VAT

Where the truck can go in Bankside
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
In Bankside, 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
