How our Mexican catering works in Colliers Wood
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for christenings and family parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
Around Colliers Wood, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. Like all of Greater London, Colliers Wood is inside the ULEZ. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Taco catering in Colliers Wood: local tips
Colliers Wood is about 5 miles south of Brompton, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Colliers Wood or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Colliers Wood is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 6 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as St Nicholas, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Sellincourt Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in.
This part of Greater London takes in SW17, SW19 and CR4, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Acre Road, Boyd Road and Park Road. We also serve at events in Tooting (1 mile north), Tooting Bec (1 mile north), Merton Abbey (1 mile south-west), Furzedown (1 mile north-east) and Eastfields (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in London (6 miles north-east), City of Westminster (7 miles north), Marylebone (7 miles north), Kensington (6 miles north), St Pancras (8 miles north) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Southside Wandsworth (2.7 miles north-west) and Grove Hospital (0.6 miles north). Open spaces near Colliers Wood include Henman Hill and Myrna Close.
- Schools near Colliers Wood include Ensham School (0.5 miles north-east) and Graveney School (0.8 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Royal Standard pub (0.5 miles west)
- Other local spots include St Leonard's (1.7 miles north-east)

What affects the price in Colliers Wood
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need disposables
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
- How we drive in and where we can park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. In Colliers Wood, 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. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- 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
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Why choose Mexican catering in Colliers Wood?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Allergen-aware menus
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Colliers Wood: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Colliers Wood?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Nicholas?
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 guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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 much will it cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Space for guests to queue
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Colliers Wood 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Working with your venue

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
