About our Mexican catering in Maypole
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For leaving dos and retirement parties and festivals, fairs and markets, we can serve burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
Around Maypole, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. Like all of Greater London, Maypole is inside the ULEZ. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Maypole: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Mission Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
What are your prices?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.

Planning a food truck in Maypole
Maypole is about 3 miles south-east of Orpington, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Maypole will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We cater in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for London, about 14 miles away.
A school such as Chelsfield Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. When the service is at a church such as Mission Chapel, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 3 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Maypole. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
London streets around Maypole can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
