Mexican catering around Cranbrook
Cranbrook is about 2 miles north-east of Forest Gate, in Greater London. For Mexican catering in Cranbrook, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Cranbrook. We cater in 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Cranbrook to London (8 miles away).
Parks such as Valentines Park typically need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. For a fête or sports day at a school such as The Ursuline Academy Ilford, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.

Mexican catering for your event in Cranbrook
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for staff parties and office lunches and family gatherings and christenings, serving burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Cranbrook come in all shapes. Let us know where the truck or trailer can stop, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

Should I do it myself?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice for your event in Cranbrook. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Cranbrook questions
Could you serve in Valentines Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at St Clement's 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
