Mexican catering around Hacton
Hacton is about 2 miles south of Hornchurch, in Greater London. For Mexican catering in Hacton, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We cover 764 places across Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 14 miles away.
A gathering in Hornchurch Country Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. A school such as Scotts Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.
Mexican catering in RM12, RM14 and RM13 is planned around your venue and access and timings. Streets in the area include Gerpins Lane and Berwick Pond Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Hacton, we also cover Upminster Bridge (1 mile north), Hornchurch (2 miles north), Upminster (2 miles north-east), Wennington (2 miles south) and Cranham (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (14 miles west), St Pancras (15 miles west), Shoreditch (13 miles west), Walthamstow (11 miles west), Hoxton (13 miles west) and Whitechapel (13 miles west).
A little further out are Hornchurch Urban District (2 miles north) and St George's Hospital (0.7 miles north-west). The countryside around Hacton includes Ingrebourne Valley.
- Nearby schools include Sanders Draper School (1 mile north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Optimist Tavern (0.8 miles north)
About our Mexican catering in Hacton
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. We serve tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for fairs and festivals and staff parties and office lunches.
Events in Hacton are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. 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. Send us a picture of the access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Perfect for your event in Hacton
Every order goes out hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Hacton, you could book us for occasions like:
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Family celebrations
- Birthday parties
- Office lunches and team days
For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Matthews Church Hall, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.

- How each diet is kept separate
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- The deadline for final numbers
- When payment is due
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.

How we price Mexican catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
There is 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. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- What power and water the site has
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
About the menu
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
London streets around Hacton can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In Hacton, 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.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
How to get a price

Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
