Mexican catering in East Ham, from our truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For milestone birthdays and christenings and family parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
Events in East Ham are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Questions from East Ham
Is it possible to have you in Beckton District Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to East Ham for guests?
Guests can use Barking station, about 1.3 miles north-east of East Ham.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cover East Ham?
We do. East Ham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Daylight in East Ham 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.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
What’s on the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
In East Ham, 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’ll advise.
What we offer
- Tacos
- Burritos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Quesadillas
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls
Who books Mexican catering in East Ham?
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We’re happy to cater:
- Fairs and festivals
- Office lunches and team days
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Weddings and evening receptions
A gathering in Beckton District Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.
