Mexican catering near Lewisham
How our Mexican catering works in Lewisham
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. It suits engagement celebrations and fundraisers and school events, serving tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
Events in Lewisham are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What Mexican catering costs
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How many guests we are serving
- The length of service
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Mexican catering around Lewisham
Lewisham is about 3 miles west of Eltham, in Greater London. Events in Lewisham are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cover 764 places across Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Before you pencil in Ladywell Fields, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. Nearby historic houses include Queen's House (1.4 miles north) and Eltham Palace (2.7 miles east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first.
This part of Greater London takes in SE13, SE8 and SE6, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Station Road, Lewisham High Street and Lewis Grove; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Nearby, we also cater events in Ladywell (1 mile south-west), St Johns (1 mile north-west), Hither Green (1 mile south-east), Blackheath (1 mile north-east) and Lee (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in London (4 miles north-west), City of Westminster (7 miles north-west), Marylebone (7 miles north-west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (6 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (5 miles north-west).

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Lewisham is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.

Lewisham: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Where would you park in Lewisham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you cover Lewisham?
Yes, we do. Lewisham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How much will it cost?
Every event is quoted for individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps.
