Mexican catering in Deptford, served fresh
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. It works well for milestone birthdays and retirement and leaving parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
In a London neighbourhood like Deptford, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. 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. All of Greater London, Deptford included, is inside the ULEZ. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.

Deptford: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Deptford?
Guests can use Deptford station, which is right in Deptford.
Is it possible to have you in Sue Godfrey Nature Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What food do you serve?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

A closer look at the menu
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
In Deptford, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
