What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
Highgate is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Mexican catering for your event in Highgate
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. At fundraisers and school events and big birthday celebrations, we can serve burrito bowls, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Highgate come in all shapes. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
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. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

How we price Mexican catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Food, drinks or both
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your menu ideas
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park
- The address or venue name
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A December event in Highgate 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.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Highgate United Reformed Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. A school such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.
Anywhere in N6, N19 and NW5, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Wood Lane, Grange Road and Talbot Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
About the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings, made for sharing.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Who books Mexican catering in Highgate?
There’s no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Highgate, you could book us for occasions like:
- Markets and community events
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Big birthday celebrations
- Fundraisers and school events
Thinking of an event in Whittington Park? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Highgate
We are having a ceremony at Highgate United Reformed Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Is it possible to have you in Whittington Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you cater in Highgate?
Yes, we do. Highgate is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
