Planning a food truck in Kensington
Kensington is about 5 miles west of London, in Greater London. We bring Mexican catering to gardens, halls and venues around Kensington. Kensington is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican catering.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Barnabas, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Barnabas and St Philip's CofE Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
Mexican catering in W11, W8, W14 and SW7 is planned around your venue and access. Streets in the area include Kensington High Street, Edwardes Square and Somerset Square, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. With the A402 and B316 close by, Kensington is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer for your event. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Holland Park (1 mile north), Notting Hill (1 mile north), Shepherd's Bush (1 mile west), Notting Dale (1 mile north) and White City (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in London (5 miles east), Marylebone (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (4 miles north-east), Shoreditch (6 miles east), Walthamstow (10 miles north-east) and Hoxton (6 miles north-east). As one of the bigger places in Greater London, Kensington has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
A little further out are Ladbroke Estate (0.9 miles north) and St Mary Abbot's Hospital (0.5 miles east). Not far away are WWT London Wetland Centre and The Long Water.
- Nearby schools include Holland Park School (under half a mile north) and Kensington School (0.5 miles east)
- Local pubs include Scarsdale Tavern (less than half a mile south-east)
- Other local spots include Abdus Salam Library (1 mile east)
Mexican catering in Kensington, from our food truck or trailer
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Kensington and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there’s safe access. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for leaving parties and milestone birthdays.
In Kensington, events range from courtyards to hired halls. Tell us how close we can park and about any narrow entrances. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Kensington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Mention any other caterers or courses
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

Kensington questions
Is it possible to have you in Holland 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 should guests use for Kensington?
Kensington has its own station: Kensington Olympia station.
What do you need at the venue?
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 provide drinks?
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 check the licensing with you.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How much will it cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Occasions we cater for in Kensington
It is colourful, generous food that fits informal events.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We are happy to cater:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Company summer parties
- Retirement and leaving parties

The A402 and B316 run on or near Kensington, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
Comparing your options
Next to a hog roast or a 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.
