Mexican catering for Elmstead events
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Space for guests to queue
Elmstead is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Mexican catering for your event in Elmstead
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. For school fairs and fundraisers and engagement and anniversary parties, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Elmstead, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. All of Greater London, Elmstead included, is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
How it 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 Elmstead until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
How to get a price

Why choose Mexican catering in Elmstead?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. 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.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Elmstead
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Is parking a problem for events in Elmstead?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
