How our Mexican catering works in Paddington
Need taco catering in Paddington? A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It suits weddings, day or evening and staff parties and office lunches, serving loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a London neighbourhood like Paddington, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. All of Greater London, Paddington included, is inside the ULEZ. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Taco catering in Paddington: local tips
Paddington is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. For an event in Paddington, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Paddington is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican catering.
By rail: Paddington has its own station, London Paddington station. When the service is at a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Here we cover the W2, W1H and W1U postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. We can cater an event on streets such as Harrow Road, Craven Road and Harbet Road or the roads around them. Being close to the A5 and A40, Paddington is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Paddington Green (1 mile north-west), Hyde Park Estate (1 mile south-east), Connaught Village (1 mile south-east), Tyburn (1 mile south-east) and Little Venice (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in London (4 miles east), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (4 miles east), Whitechapel (4 miles east) and Ruislip (11 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Ladbroke Estate (1.5 miles west) and Montfichet's Tower (3.1 miles east). Not far away are Greville Place nature reserve and The Long Water.
- Nearby schools include Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School (under half a mile east) and North Westminster Community School (within half a mile north-east)
- Pubs nearby include Fountains Abbey pub (within half a mile south)
- Local facilities include Royal Society of Medicine Library (1.1 miles east)
How we price Mexican catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and rough timings
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Around midsummer it stays light in Paddington until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Send allergy details to us in writing
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
London streets around Paddington can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Paddington
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John the Evangelist: 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.
Could you serve in Royal Parks of London?
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 will send what they need from us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What can we choose from?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll check it works. We also need room for a queue.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Mexican catering or something else?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
