- A picture of where we’d park

How our Mexican catering works in Hackney
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for fundraisers and school events and weddings and evening receptions, with loaded nachos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In Hackney, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Why choose Mexican catering in Hackney?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat for your event in Hackney. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for everything we serve

What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. A December event in Hackney will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, 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.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

What else we do in Hackney
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Count children separately
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain

Events we cater in Hackney
Food is cooked to order and served hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
Here are some of the events we cater:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Charity and school events
- Family gatherings and christenings
- Fairs and festivals
Before you pencil in Clapton Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
Before booking anyone
- How each diet is kept separate
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
As a London location, Hackney is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Hackney
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Clapton 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’ll send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Hackney?
Guests can use Homerton station, which is right in Hackney.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
