Your questions about Mexican catering in Southwark
Could you serve our guests after a service at Borough Welsh Congregational Chapel?
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’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Southwark for guests?
The closest is Elephant & Castle station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
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 what we need with your quote.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Mexican catering in Southwark, served fresh
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and milestone birthdays, with tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
Events in Southwark are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. 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. Send us a picture of the access. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Events we cater in Southwark
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: it is familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Fundraisers and school events
- Markets and community events
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Birthday parties
A school such as Charles Dickens Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.
Before booking anyone
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
In Southwark, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
