Mexican catering for your event in Slade Green
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for leaving parties and weddings and evening receptions.
In Slade Green, 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. Tell us about the route in. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Slade Green
Which station should guests use for Slade Green?
Slade Green station, in Slade Green itself.
We’re having a ceremony at St. Augustine's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
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.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater in Slade Green?
We do. We serve at events in Slade Green and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Slade Green.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Comparing your options

Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
