How our Mexican catering works in Joyden's Wood
Need taco catering in Joyden's Wood? A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It suits leaving parties and family gatherings and christenings, serving loaded nachos, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In Joyden's Wood, 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. Tell us about the route in. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Planning the serving area

- Permission from the venue or landowner

The closest is Bexley station, roughly 1.3 miles away.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Joyden's Wood.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
