Mexican catering in South Croydon, served fresh
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. For staff parties and office lunches and garden parties, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
Events in South Croydon are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Mexican catering around South Croydon
South Croydon is about 1 mile south of Croydon, in Greater London. For an event in South Croydon, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We serve in 764 places in Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
A gathering in Duppas Hill would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Purley Oaks Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.

Take a look at how we price and our guide to catering costs.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
How we price Mexican catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
South Croydon 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in South Croydon
- Burrito bowls

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In South Croydon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Common questions in South Croydon
Is parking a problem for events in South Croydon?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve in Duppas Hill?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
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, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
