Mexican catering for Orpington events
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Mexican catering in Orpington, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for leaving parties and garden get-togethers, with a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and burrito bowls.
Around Orpington, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. All of Greater London, Orpington included, is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

FAQs for Orpington
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Jubilee Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can we add a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will check the licensing with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater in Orpington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Orpington is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
