Mexican catering in Lambeth, from our food truck or trailer
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. On the menu are burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and family celebrations.
In a London neighbourhood like Lambeth, 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 tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. Like all of Greater London, Lambeth 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.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Lambeth
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Old Paradise 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.
What’s the nearest station to Lambeth for guests?
Lambeth has its own station: Vauxhall station.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t usually 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.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Catering an event in Lambeth
Lambeth is about 1 mile south-west of London, in Greater London. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Lambeth and the surrounding area. We serve in all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
With the A3203 and A3204 nearby, getting the truck or trailer to Lambeth is straightforward. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Peter's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
Wherever your event is in SE11, SW1P and SW8, we can bring Mexican catering to you. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Gibson Road, Langley Lane and Randall Road. With the A3203 and A3204 close by, Lambeth is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer for your event. For events just outside Lambeth, we cover Vauxhall (1 mile north), Kennington (1 mile south), Oval (1 mile south), Newington Butts (1 mile east) and St George's Fields (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Kensington (4 miles west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles north-east) and Hampstead (5 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Evelina London Children's Hospital (0.5 miles north) and Gabriel's Wharf (1.3 miles north). Open spaces near Lambeth include Bellenden Road Nature Garden and Ludgate Hill.
- Local schools include Lambeth School of Art (under half a mile south) and Lilian Baylis Technology School (under half a mile south)
- Local pubs include The Jolly Gardeners pub (less than half a mile north-east)
- Other local spots include Lambeth Palace Library (0.5 miles north) and City and Liberty of Westminster (0.7 miles north-west)
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
In Lambeth, 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Lambeth
- Burritos
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls
- Loaded nachos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Tacos
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
How we price Mexican catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- The length of service
- How many guests we’re serving
- Whether you need disposables
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- What you’d like on the menu
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, use our quote form.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evenings in Lambeth 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.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
