Mexican catering in Oakthorpe Park, served fresh
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for family celebrations and big birthday celebrations.
Events in Oakthorpe Park are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Oakthorpe Park
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael-at-Bowes?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Where would you park in Oakthorpe Park?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
In Oakthorpe Park, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Mexican catering or something else?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Send allergy details to us in writing
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
For event organisers in Oakthorpe Park
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Oakthorpe Park? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A December event in Oakthorpe Park will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
