Mexican catering for your event in South Lambeth
Taco catering in South Lambeth is what we do best. You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. It works well for milestone birthdays and weddings, day or evening, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In a London neighbourhood like South Lambeth, 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, South Lambeth included, is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Occasions we cater for in South Lambeth
You don’t need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Leaving parties
- Staff parties and office lunches
Around South Lambeth, historic houses include Buckingham Palace (1.8 miles north-west) and Clarence House (1.9 miles north). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who provides plates and napkins
- How long the service runs
- When payment is due
- A clear list of what’s included
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. In South Lambeth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.

It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.

- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
South Lambeth 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.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
