FAQs for Friday Hill
Which station is closest to Friday Hill?
Guests can use Chingford station, about 0.8 miles north of Friday Hill.
Is it possible to have you in The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Friday Hill? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
How it compares
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

- A plan agreed before the day
- A clear quote
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours

Friday Hill 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.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
