Mexican catering in Clapham, from our food truck or trailer
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For christenings and family parties and festivals, fairs and markets, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Clapham, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Around midsummer it stays light in Clapham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Why choose Mexican catering in Clapham?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Service planned around your numbers
- Menus chosen with you
Take a look at how we price and our guide to catering costs.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
How we price Mexican catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What power and water the site has
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Clapham? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What else we do in Clapham
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Tacos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Burrito bowls
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos
- Quesadillas
The menu, item by item
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Clapham
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station should guests use for Clapham?
The closest is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
