How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A December event in Hadley Wood will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or EN4 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send a quick message through our quote form.

How our Mexican catering works in Hadley Wood
Planning taco catering for an event in Hadley Wood? Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. It suits garden get-togethers and weddings, day or evening, with loaded nachos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
Events in Hadley Wood are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Hadley Wood questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is parking a problem for events in Hadley Wood?
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.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
What food do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
What does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
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.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Other catering in Hadley Wood
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A menu built around your guests
- Quoted for your event
