Greengate: your questions answered
What about parking in Greengate?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
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.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What food do you serve?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
About our Mexican catering in Greengate
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. On the menu are tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, which works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and leaving dos and retirement parties.
In Greengate, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Tell us about the route in. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In Greengate, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
As a London location, Greengate is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
