- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one

Mexican catering in St John's Wood, from our truck or trailer
Need taco catering in St John's Wood? Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. On the menu are burritos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits garden get-togethers and weddings, day or evening.
Events in St John's Wood are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access.

St John's Wood: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Souls?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to St John's Wood?
Guests can use South Hampstead station, which is right in St John's Wood.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you before the day.
Do you serve in the rain?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What can we choose from?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in St John's Wood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
