Little Ilford: your questions answered
What about parking in Little Ilford?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
We’re having a ceremony at St Michael's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
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 Little Ilford.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Mexican catering for your event in Little Ilford
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. It suits anniversaries and engagements and christenings and family parties, serving quesadillas, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a London neighbourhood like Little Ilford, 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, Little Ilford is inside the ULEZ. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Mexican catering or something else?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

For event organisers in Little Ilford
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December event in Little Ilford will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us what power and water the site has
