How our Mexican catering works in Blackwall
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. For milestone birthdays and fairs and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and burrito bowls for your guests.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Blackwall come in all shapes. Let us know where the truck or trailer can stop and about any narrow entrances. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

What we need at the venue

- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Blackwall is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What the venue already provides
- How long we are needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your menu ideas
- How we drive in and where we can park
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December event in Blackwall will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning a food truck in Blackwall
Blackwall is about 1 mile south-west of Canning Town, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Blackwall will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Blackwall is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Reaching Blackwall by road is easy for us, thanks to the A102 and A1206. Before you pencil in Bow Creek Ecology Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
Here we cover the E14, SE10 and E16 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Nutmeg Lane, Athol Square and Leamouth Road. You will find Blackwall on the A102 and A1206, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Blackwall, we also cover Coldharbour (1 mile south-west), Leamouth (1 mile north-east), Limmo Peninsula (1 mile north-east), Poplar (1 mile west) and London Docklands (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles north-west).
A little further out are Surrey Quays Shopping Centre (2 miles west) and Poplar Hospital (under half a mile north-west). Green spaces nearby include Lavender Pond and Tower Hill.
- Schools near Blackwall include Tower Hamlets College (0.6 miles west) and Langdon Park Secondary School (0.7 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Gun pub (less than half a mile south-west)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Holy Trinity (2.3 miles north-west)
Your questions about Mexican catering in Blackwall
We’re having a ceremony at All Saints Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to Blackwall?
The closest is Canary Wharf station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
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.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Blackwall.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Include at least one vegan filling
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
A closer look at the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Mexican catering or something else?
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
