Mexican catering in Poverest, served fresh
Planning taco catering for an event in Poverest? You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. It works well for leaving parties and birthday parties, with loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In Poverest, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. 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. Send us a picture of the access. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many guests we are serving
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why book with us
- Quoted for your event
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- A plan agreed before the day
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
For event organisers in Poverest
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Organising a club, school or community event in Poverest? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
The process
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Winter evenings in Poverest close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
