Mexican catering in Clapton, served fresh
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. At garden get-togethers and leaving dos and retirement parties, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos for your guests.
Events in Clapton are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning a food truck in Clapton
Clapton is about 2 miles east of Highbury, in Greater London. Events in Clapton are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in 764 places across Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St James the Great, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. For guests coming by train, Clapton has its own station, Clapton station.

The menu, item by item

Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Events we cater in Clapton
People like choosing their own toppings, and a taco bar soon becomes a talking point.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Summer garden parties
- Leaving parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Fundraisers and school events
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like BSix Sixth Form College, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
What your quote should include
- What the price includes, item by item
- VAT, if it applies
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. In Clapton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available

Mexican catering or something else?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Your questions about Mexican catering in Clapton
We are having a ceremony at Church of St James the Great: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Clapton for guests?
Guests can use Clapton station, which is right in Clapton.
Where do you cater?
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 Clapton.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
As a London location, Clapton is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
