Mexican catering in Sydenham, served fresh
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It suits school fairs and fundraisers and birthday parties, with burritos, tacos and loaded nachos.
Around Sydenham, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. Like all of Greater London, Sydenham is inside the ULEZ. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Send allergy details to us in writing
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A December event in Sydenham will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

What else we do in Sydenham
Taco catering in Sydenham: local tips
Sydenham is about 3 miles south-east of East Dulwich, in Greater London. From the centre of Sydenham to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Close to Sydenham are historic houses such as Kingswood House (1.2 miles west) and Bromley Palace (3.6 miles south-east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Bartholomew, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
We cater events across SE26, SE20 and SE23. Your event could be at a home on Byne Road, Lucas Road and Cator Road or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Penge (1 mile south), Crystal Palace (1 mile south-west), Sydenham Hill (1 mile north-west), Perry Vale (1 mile north-east) and Anerley (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in London (5 miles north), City of Westminster (7 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (8 miles north-west), St Pancras (7 miles north) and Shoreditch (7 miles north).
A little further out are Crystal Palace Museum (1 mile west) and St Christopher's Hospice (within half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Dacres Wood and Knight's Hill.
- Schools near Sydenham include St Bartholomews's Church of England Primary School (within half a mile north) and Sydenham High School (within half a mile west)

Sydenham questions
What’s the nearest station to Sydenham for guests?
Guests can use Sydenham station, which is right in Sydenham.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Mayow 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 will send what they need from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cover Sydenham?
We do. We serve at events in Sydenham and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Mexican catering or something else?
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
In Sydenham, 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
