Mexican catering near Downham
About our Mexican catering in Downham
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are burritos, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it suits leaving dos and retirement parties and staff parties and office lunches.
In Downham, 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. Tell us about the route in. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Let us know about any other food at the event
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Downham questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Barnabas?
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.
Which station should guests use for Downham?
Guests can use Grove Park station, about 0.8 miles north-east of Downham.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Downham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning a food truck in Downham
Downham is about 2 miles north of Bromley, in Greater London. Give us the address of your event in Downham, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Downham is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Downham to London (7 miles away).
Before you pencil in Downham Fields, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Rangefield Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
For Mexican catering in BR1, SE6 and SE12, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Local streets include Shaw Road, Arcus Road and Brook Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Downham, we also cover Plaistow (1 mile south), Grove Park (1 mile north-east), Sundridge (1 mile south-east), Chinbrook (1 mile east) and Bellingham (1 mile west). We also cater in nearby towns such as London (7 miles north-west), City of Westminster (9 miles north-west), Marylebone (9 miles north-west), Kensington (10 miles north-west), St Pancras (9 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Municipal Borough of Bromley (1.8 miles south) and Prefab Museum (0.7 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Summer Hill and Downham Woodland Walk.
- Schools near Downham include Bonus Pastor Catholic College (within half a mile west) and Holy Trinity College Bromley (1.4 miles south-east)
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
London streets around Downham 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.

What Mexican catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
