Comparing your options

St Johns questions
Where would you park in St Johns?
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.
Is it possible to have you in Brookmill Park?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
How big an event can you cater?
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.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Give us separate numbers for children
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

A gathering in Brookmill Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. For guests coming by train, St Johns has its own station, St Johns station.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter evenings in St Johns close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.

- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
