Mexican catering for your event in Stepney
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It suits garden get-togethers and company summer parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
In Stepney, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. 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 photo of the access. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning a food truck in Stepney
Stepney is about 2 miles south of Hackney, in Greater London. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Stepney and nearby villages. Stepney is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Reaching Stepney by road is easy for us, thanks to the A11 and B120. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Redlands Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
We serve at events all over E1 and E2 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Beaumont Square, Rectory Square and Carlton Square, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Stepney sits on or near the A11 and B120, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. Other places close to Stepney for Mexican catering include East End of London (1 mile south-west), Ratcliff (1 mile south), Bethnal Green (1 mile north-west), Whitechapel (1 mile west) and Limehouse (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover City of Westminster (4 miles west), Marylebone (4 miles west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (3 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north) and Hampstead (6 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Young V&A (0.6 miles north) and The Royal London Hospital (less than half a mile west). Open spaces near Stepney include St. James's Park Lake and Lavender Pond.

What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
London streets around Stepney can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

The menu, item by item
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Winter evenings in Stepney 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.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

How we price Mexican catering
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What the venue already provides
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help

Questions from Stepney
Could you serve in Stepney Green Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Stepney?
Guests can use Whitechapel station, which is right in Stepney.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How much will it cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
