How our Mexican catering works in Rainham
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. For festivals, fairs and markets and weddings, day or evening, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burrito bowls and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Rainham, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect 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, Rainham included, is inside the ULEZ. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Planning a food truck in Rainham
Rainham is about 4 miles south of Romford, in Greater London. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Rainham. Rainham is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 13 miles away.
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Rainham Village Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. If people are travelling in by rail, Rainham (Essex) station is in Rainham itself.
Anywhere in RM13, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include New Road, Ferry Lane and Wantz Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Rainham, we also cover South Hornchurch (1 mile north-west), Beam Park (1 mile west), Hornchurch Marshes (1 mile west), Dagenham Green (2 miles west) and Elm Park (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include London (13 miles west), City of Westminster (15 miles west), Marylebone (15 miles west), St Pancras (13 miles west), Shoreditch (12 miles west) and Walthamstow (11 miles north-west).

Events we cater in Rainham
Every order goes out hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in Rainham can book us for occasions like:
- Engagement celebrations
- Birthday parties
- Fundraisers and school events
- Weddings and evening receptions
Before you pencil in Wildspace Conservation Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
What to look for in a quote
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Allergen information for each dish
- Whether travel is included
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
How we price Mexican catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu you choose
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Daylight in Rainham runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.

Questions from Rainham
What about parking in Rainham?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Wildspace Conservation Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
