Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

For event organisers in Custom House
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
FAQs for Custom House
Where would you park in Custom House?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station should guests use for Custom House?
Guests can use Custom House station, which is right in Custom House.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Comparing your options
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. 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.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Around midsummer it stays light in Custom House until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us when you want service to start
