What happens on the day
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. In Lissenden Gardens, 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 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

How our Mexican catering works in Lissenden Gardens
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and birthday parties, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
In Lissenden Gardens, events range from courtyards to hired halls. Let us know where the truck or trailer can stop and about any narrow entrances. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

What affects the price in Lissenden Gardens
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Lissenden Gardens: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Lissenden Gardens?
Lissenden Gardens has its own station: Gospel Oak station.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Highgate Road Chapel?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Where do you cater?
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 Lissenden Gardens.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
