Planning an event in Croydon?

How the day works

We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Daylight in Croydon runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.

Getting ready for the day

Tell us what power and water the site has
Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Ask for a quote

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

About our Mexican catering in Croydon

A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for milestone birthdays and markets and community events.

In Croydon, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Send us a picture of the access. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Croydon

Which station should guests use for Croydon?

Guests can use South Croydon station, which is right in Croydon.

We are having a ceremony at St Andrew's: 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.

Can you keep it mild?

We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

What guest numbers do you cater for?

It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.

How much does Mexican catering cost?

There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

Do you do margaritas?

Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.

Can you serve drinks as well?

You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.

Planning for every diet

Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:

Tell us how many children are coming
Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Think about cover for guests in wet weather
Confirm allergies by email before the event

On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.

Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

About the menu

Salsas and guacamole

Guacamole and salsas, freshly made.

Build-your-own taco bar

The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.

Can I do a taco night myself?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Taco catering in Croydon: local tips

Croydon is about 9 miles south of London, in Greater London. For an event in Croydon, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Croydon. We cater in all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Croydon to London (9 miles away).

By rail: Croydon has its own station, South Croydon station. Close to Croydon are historic houses such as Addington Palace (2.5 miles east) and Kingswood House (4.4 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early.

We cater events across the CR0, CR2, CR9 and CR8 postcode area. Local streets include High Street, Church Road and Ruskin Square; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. You’ll find Croydon on the A235 and B243, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Planning the serving area

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:

Room for a serving table for the taco bar
Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Space for guests to queue

London streets around Croydon 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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

How it compares

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. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Before you pencil in Park Hill Recreation Ground, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
