How our Mexican catering works in Smithfield
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. Popular choices include loaded nachos, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for company summer parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Smithfield, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets and permit bays decide 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, Smithfield included, is inside the ULEZ. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December event in Smithfield will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Smithfield questions
What’s the nearest station to Smithfield for guests?
Farringdon station, in Smithfield itself.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Bartholomew-the-Less?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
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 can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Can you set up at our venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
What do you need at the venue?
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 Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The menu you choose
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Smithfield 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Comparing your options
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A truck or trailer that comes to you

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
