How our Mexican catering works in Bow Common
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it suits milestone birthdays and engagement celebrations.
In Bow Common, 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 photo of the access. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Common questions in Bow Common
Which station should guests use for Bow Common?
Limehouse station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you serve in Bartlett Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will check it works. We also need room for a queue.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Bow Common.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Space for guests to queue
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
London streets around Bow Common 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 before booking.

The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Planning an evening event in Bow Common?
