Book Mexican catering in Oakwood

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. In Oakwood, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

  1. Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
  2. Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
  4. At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
  5. We pack away when service is over.

Preparing for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
  • Find out what power and water are available

Mexican catering in Oakwood, served fresh

Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. For fundraisers and school events and fairs and festivals, we can serve tacos, burritos and loaded nachos and more.

In Oakwood, events range from courtyards to hired halls. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Taco catering in Oakwood: local tips

Oakwood is about 2 miles west of Enfield, in Greater London. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Oakwood and nearby villages. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.

Around Oakwood, historic houses include Forty Hall (3.1 miles north-east) and Bruce Castle (3.8 miles south-east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Winchmore Hill station, about 1.3 miles south-east.

This part of Greater London takes in N14, N21 and EN2, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Ivy Road, Green Road and Chase Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. We also serve at events in World's End (1 mile east), Osidge (1 mile south-west), Southgate (1 mile south), Grange Park (1 mile east) and East Barnet (1 mile south-west).

Before you choose a spot

The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:

  • Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
  • A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours

Oakwood is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I do it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

How we price Mexican catering

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Parking and the route in
  • What the venue already provides
  • What’s on the menu
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Expected numbers
  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • Where the event is

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

How to compare caterers

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Catering for every guest

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

  • Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
  • Have a covered area ready in case of rain
  • Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
  • Mention any other caterers or courses

Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.

Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Oakwood questions

Which station should guests use for Oakwood?

Guests can use Winchmore Hill station, about 1.3 miles south-east of Oakwood.

Can you cater a reception after a service at St Thomas's Church?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. 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, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.

Are plates and napkins included?

Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.

Do you do a drinks bar?

We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will check the licensing with you.

Do you cover Oakwood?

Yes, we do. Oakwood is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

What if the weather’s bad?

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Can you keep it mild?

That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
