Mexican catering for Blackfriars events
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
About our Mexican catering in Blackfriars
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. Popular choices include quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for fundraisers and school events and family gatherings and christenings.
In a London neighbourhood like Blackfriars, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. All of Greater London, Blackfriars included, is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or 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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Planning an evening event in Blackfriars? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day

What we need at the venue

- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
London streets around Blackfriars 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.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Blackfriars
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Ann Blackfriars?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Bernie Spain Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
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. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
