New Cross: your questions answered
Which station is closest to New Cross?
Guests can use New Cross station, which is right in New Cross.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St James's Church?
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’ll check the access.
Do you cater in New Cross?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and New Cross is within our area. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What do you need at the venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
In New Cross, 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

New Cross is about 3 miles south-east of London, in Greater London. From the centre of New Cross to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 764 places across Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
With the A2209 and A2210 nearby, getting the truck or trailer to New Cross is straightforward. Close to New Cross are historic houses such as Queen's House (1.5 miles north-east) and Kingswood House (3.5 miles south-west).

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in New Cross? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Why choose Mexican catering in New Cross?
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Perfect for your event in New Cross
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
Here are some of the events we cater around New Cross:
- Charity and school events
- Leaving parties
- Company summer parties
- Summer garden parties
When the service is at a church such as St James's Church, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who provides plates and napkins
- How bad weather is handled
- Allergen information for each dish
- Staff numbers and hours
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Give us separate numbers for children
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
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. In New Cross, 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. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
