Mexican catering for your event in Hither Green
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. At wedding breakfasts and evening food and school fairs and fundraisers, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Hither Green, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. All of Greater London, Hither Green included, is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Hither Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hither Green?
Hither Green has its own station: Hither Green station.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will check the licensing with you.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you serve in the rain?
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.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What are your prices?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
