Mexican catering in Plashet, served fresh
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. We serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, which works well for festivals, fairs and markets and staff parties and office lunches.
Events in Plashet 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. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Plashet: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Plashet for guests?
Woodgrange Park station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Barnabas?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Plashet.
How much will it cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A December event in Plashet will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
London streets around Plashet 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Tacos
- Quesadillas
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls
- Build-your-own taco bar

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us what other food is being served
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why book with us
- Events in Plashet and across Greater London
- Book food, drinks or both
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Quoted for your event
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
