Mexican catering in Newington Butts, from our truck or trailer
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. For office lunches and team days and weddings and evening receptions, we can serve burrito bowls, burritos and tacos.
In Newington Butts, 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. Tell us about the route in. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Expected numbers
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Newington Butts, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
In Newington Butts, 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.

Questions from Newington Butts
Could you serve in Newington Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Metropolitan Tabernacle: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally 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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
What food do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted for individually, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. 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. Every event gets its own quote.
