Mexican catering for your event in Becontree
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and company summer parties.
In Becontree, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Send us a picture of the access. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Other catering in Becontree
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
In Becontree, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
