Mexican catering for Silvertown events
Mexican catering in Silvertown, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for family gatherings and christenings and weddings, day or evening, with loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls.
In Silvertown, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Occasions we cater for in Silvertown
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: it’s familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We’re happy to cater:
- Summer garden parties
- Leaving parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- School fairs and fundraisers
A gathering in Thames Barrier Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- VAT, if it applies
- Whether travel is included
- Exactly what’s included in the price
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Permission from the venue or landowner
In Silvertown, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Silvertown
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Barnabas' Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in Thames Barrier Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you set up at our venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you cater in Silvertown?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Silvertown and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Guest numbers
- What’s on the menu
- Serving staff
- How long we are needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A December event in Silvertown will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
