Mexican catering in Penge

Catering for every guest

Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:

  • Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
  • Confirm allergies by email before the event
  • Include at least one vegan filling
  • Tell us what other food is being served

We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.

Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.

Mexican catering in Penge, served fresh

Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It suits charity and school events and milestone birthdays, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and tacos.

In a London neighbourhood like Penge, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets and permit bays decide 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, Penge included, is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Perfect for your event in Penge

Food is cooked to order and served hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:

  • Company summer parties
  • Retirement and leaving parties
  • Engagement celebrations
  • Christenings and family parties

If people are travelling in by rail, Penge West station is in Penge itself.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the caterer needs from your venue
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • How dietary needs and allergies are handled
  • Staff numbers and hours

How to compare caterers

Should I do it myself?

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Working with your venue

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.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Penge? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Penge

What’s the nearest station to Penge for guests?

Penge West station, in Penge itself.

Where would you park in Penge?

That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.

Can you come to a private house?

That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Is the food suitable for children?

Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.

What do you need at the venue?

Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

What’s on the menu

Salsas and guacamole

The salsas and guacamole finish every plate.

Loaded nachos

Nachos are easy sharing food. We can plan a dairy-free version.

Planning the serving area

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

  • Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
  • Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
  • A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance

In Penge, 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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Popular choices

  • Burrito bowls
  • Burritos

The process

The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. From late May to late September, sunset in Penge moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.

  1. Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
  2. We plan a menu that covers every diet.
  3. We confirm the way in and where we will park.
  4. Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
  5. We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
