FAQs for Southgate
Is parking a problem for events in Southgate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station is closest to Southgate?
Guests can use New Southgate station, about 1 mile south-west of Southgate.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Mexican catering or something else?
With a barbecue, someone generally ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
