How our Mexican catering works in Hornchurch Marshes
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. For weddings, day or evening and markets and community events, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Around Hornchurch Marshes, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. All of Greater London, Hornchurch Marshes included, is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings, made for sharing.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
Why choose Mexican catering in Hornchurch Marshes?
Mixed diets are easy to plan for, since everyone picks their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Markets and community events
- Birthday parties
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Family gatherings and christenings
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Brook Sixth Form and Academy, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Hornchurch Marshes, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Hornchurch Marshes: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Wildspace Conservation 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’ll send what they need from us.
Which station is closest to Hornchurch Marshes?
Dagenham Dock station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cater in Hornchurch Marshes?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Hornchurch Marshes is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Space for guests to queue
As a London location, Hornchurch Marshes is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hornchurch Marshes? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
