About our Mexican catering in Holloway

Planning taco catering for an event in Holloway? We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. We serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos, and it suits garden get-togethers and christenings and family parties.

In Holloway, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Send us a picture of the access. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Planning the serving area

We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:

  • A spot for a taco-bar serving table
  • Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

In Holloway, 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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

What Mexican catering costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The menu you choose
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Whether you need disposables

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Expected numbers
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
  • The address or venue name
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Planners, venues and businesses

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

The menu, item by item

Salsas and guacamole

Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event, with lime and fresh toppings.

Build-your-own taco bar

The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.

The process

Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Evenings in Holloway stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

  1. Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
  2. Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
  3. We confirm the way in and where we will park.
  4. Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
  5. We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

How to prepare

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Give us a contact for the day

Holloway: your questions answered

Which station is closest to Holloway?

Guests can use Drayton Park station, about 0.6 miles south-east of Holloway.

Can you cater a reception after a service at St Joseph and St Padarn's Church?

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. Send us the reception address.

How spicy is the food?

The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

Can you run a bar?

Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.

Do you give allergen information?

We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

What do you need at the venue?

We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.

What does Mexican catering cost?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you need electricity?

It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.

Occasions we cater for in Holloway

There’s no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.

Whatever you are celebrating in Holloway, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:

  • Summer garden parties
  • Milestone birthdays
  • Company summer parties
  • Retirement and leaving parties

For a fête or sports day at a school such as Grafton Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.

Before booking anyone

  • Payment terms and deposit
  • Travel and parking costs
  • A food hygiene rating you can check
  • The deadline for final numbers

How to compare caterers

Should I do it myself?

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
