Mexican catering for your event in Forest Gate
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Forest Gate: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding. For christenings and family parties and office lunches and team days, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Forest Gate, 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 let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. All of Greater London, Forest Gate included, is inside the ULEZ. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
A closer look at the menu
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December event in Forest Gate will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

Questions from Forest Gate
What about parking in Forest Gate?
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.
Could you serve in West Ham 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.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Forest Gate: venues, access and local tips
Forest Gate is about 6 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Forest Gate will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We cater in 764 places across Greater London. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Forest Gate to London (about 6 miles away).
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Woodgrange Infant School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. For a christening or wedding at a church such as A Radical Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
For Mexican catering in E7, E15 and E11, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Streets in the area include Elm Road, Ash Road and Cary Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. With the A114 and A116 close by, Forest Gate is easy for us to reach. Close by, we cover events in Upton (1 mile south), Aldersbrook (1 mile north), Holloway Down (1 mile west), Plashet (1 mile south-east) and Little Ilford (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (6 miles south-west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (6 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Cann Hall (0.8 miles north-west) and Passmore Edwards Museum (0.9 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Hollow Pond and Old Ford Island.
- Schools near Forest Gate include Forest Gate Community School (less than half a mile west) and Tyndale Academy (0.6 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include The Hudson Bay pub (within half a mile south)
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
As a London location, Forest Gate is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: 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.
