There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It works well for office lunches and team days and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.

Catering an event in Herne Hill
Herne Hill is about 3 miles south of London, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Herne Hill or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 764 places across Greater London.
For guests coming by train, North Dulwich station is in Herne Hill itself. Before you pencil in Belair Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
We cover events in every part of the SE22, SW2 and SE24 postcode area. Whether your event is on Jelf Road, Dewey Lane and Talma Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Being close to the A204 and A2214, Herne Hill is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer for your event.

For event organisers in Herne Hill

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Why choose Mexican catering in Herne Hill?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Where the truck can go in Herne Hill
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
In Herne Hill, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.

Herne Hill questions
Is it possible to have you in Belair 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 will send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Saint Faith's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Is the food made fresh?
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.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with tortillas kept warm. Each guest makes tacos their way.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Herne Hill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us your final numbers and diets
