Mexican catering for your event in Bishopsgate
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. At garden get-togethers and school fairs and fundraisers, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos for your guests.
Around Bishopsgate, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. Like all of Greater London, Bishopsgate is inside the ULEZ. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Bishopsgate until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Questions from Bishopsgate
Is parking a problem for events in Bishopsgate?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Bishopsgate for guests?
London Liverpool Street station, in Bishopsgate itself.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Bishopsgate: venues, access and local tips
Bishopsgate is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Bishopsgate and nearby villages. Bishopsgate is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Ethelburga, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like The London School of Barbering, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
This part of Greater London takes in E1, EC2A and EC1Y, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Bush Lane, Swan Lane and Love Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. With the A3 and A10 close by, Bishopsgate is simple for us to get to with the truck or trailer for your event. For events just outside Bishopsgate, we cover Aldgate (1 mile south-east), Spitalfields (1 mile east), City of London (1 mile west), Tower Hill (1 mile south) and Whitechapel (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (3 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west) and Ruislip (15 miles west).
A little further out are Gabriel's Wharf (1.2 miles south-west) and Tower of London (0.6 miles south-east). The countryside around Bishopsgate includes St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.
- Nearby schools include The Aldgate School (less than half a mile south-east) and Central Foundation Boys' School (0.7 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include White Hart pub (less than half a mile north-east)
- Local facilities include Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives (less than half a mile north-east) and County of London (under half a mile west)
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For event organisers in Bishopsgate
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Mexican catering or something else?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, yet it is still food most guests know and like. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
London streets around Bishopsgate can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
