Mexican catering in Crossness, from our truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for engagement celebrations and family gatherings and christenings, serving burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Crossness come in all shapes. Let us know where the truck or trailer can stop, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
London streets around Crossness 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.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Tell us what other food is being served
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
Crossness: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Crossness for guests?
Guests can use Abbey Wood station, about 0.8 miles south-west of Crossness.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Lesnes Abbey Woods?
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 will send what they need from us.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What food do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Do you come to Crossness?
Yes, we do. Crossness is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
