Royal Docks questions
What’s the nearest station to Royal Docks for guests?
Guests can use Custom House station, about 0.7 miles west of Royal Docks.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Ascension?
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.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
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, guacamole and toppings.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Space for guests to queue
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Royal Docks is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Why choose Mexican catering in Royal Docks?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
