What affects the price in East Dulwich
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we are needed on site
- Serving staff
- The number of people
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- What you’d like on the menu
- How we drive in and where we can park
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
London streets around East Dulwich 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’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.

Questions from East Dulwich
Could you serve in Brunswick Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Latter Rain Outpouring Revival Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Should I do it myself?
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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Comparing your options
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Service planned around your numbers
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
