About our Mexican catering in Manor House
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. At fairs and festivals and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
In Manor House, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

- Your choice of food and drinks
- Food, drinks or both

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Manor House is about 1 mile north of Highbury, in Greater London. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Manor House and nearby villages. Manor House is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
A gathering in Chestnuts Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Nearby historic houses include Bruce Castle (2.1 miles north-east) and Witanhurst (2.4 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

FAQs for Manor House
Could you serve in Chestnuts 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 will send what they need from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Manor House?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you serve in the rain?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. From late May to late September, sunset in Manor House moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
