How our Mexican catering works in Puddle Dock
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and engagement celebrations, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and burritos.
In Puddle Dock, 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. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Serving staff
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Puddle Dock
Can you cater a reception after a service at Moor Lane Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Where would you park in Puddle Dock?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
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. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What does Mexican catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
