Planning help
Mexican catering in New Charlton, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits anniversaries and engagements and birthday parties, with loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
In New Charlton, 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 picture of the access. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

A closer look at the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
In New Charlton, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Burritos
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
- Loaded nachos
New Charlton questions
Which station is closest to New Charlton?
Guests can use Charlton station, which is right in New Charlton.
We are having a ceremony at St Catherine Labouré: 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. Send us the reception address.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you do a drinks bar?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.
Do you cover New Charlton?
We do. We serve at events in New Charlton and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

New Charlton: venues, access and local tips
New Charlton is about 2 miles north-east of Greenwich, in Greater London. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in New Charlton and the surrounding area. New Charlton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from New Charlton to London (about 6 miles away).
For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Catherine Labouré, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. A gathering in Thames Barrier Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.
For Mexican catering in SE7, SE18 and E16, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Local streets include Floyd Road, Priolo Road and Hasted Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside New Charlton, we also cover Charlton (1 mile south-east), Westcombe Park (1 mile south-west), Woolwich (1 mile east), Vanbrugh Park Estate (1 mile south-west) and Maze Hill (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in London (6 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles north-west).
A little further out are Charlton Athletic Museum (under half a mile south) and Greenwich Castle (1.9 miles south-west). The countryside around New Charlton includes Gilbert's Pit.
- Nearby schools include Thorntree Primary School (within half a mile south-east) and Wildwood Montessori School (1.3 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Victoria pub (within half a mile east)
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Parking and the route in
- The menu you choose
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
To get a price, just tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
How it compares
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
