How our Mexican catering works in Telegraph Hill
Need taco catering in Telegraph Hill? A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For fundraisers and school events and anniversaries and engagements, we can serve burritos, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Telegraph Hill, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. Like all of Greater London, Telegraph Hill is inside the ULEZ. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Perfect for your event in Telegraph Hill
You do not need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
In Telegraph Hill and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Big birthday celebrations
- Fairs and festivals
- Summer garden parties
Guests leaving a church like St Catherine's Hatcham after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Telegraph Hill: venues, access and local tips
Telegraph Hill is about 1 mile south-west of New Cross, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Telegraph Hill or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Telegraph Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham Temple Grove Free School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Before you pencil in Fordham Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
We cater events across the SE4, SE15 and SE14 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Mona Road, Pepys Road and Kitto Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Nunhead (1 mile south-west), New Cross (1 mile north-east), Peckham (1 mile north-west), St Johns (1 mile east) and Brockley (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in London (3 miles north-west), City of Westminster (6 miles north-west), Marylebone (6 miles north-west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (4 miles north).
A little further out are Lewisham Shopping Centre (1.4 miles east) and Nunhead (less than half a mile west). Open spaces near Telegraph Hill include St. James's Park Lake and New Cross Gate Cutting.
- Local schools include Haberdashers' Hatcham College (less than half a mile north) and Southwark Free School (1.3 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Brockley Barge pub (less than half a mile south-east)
FAQs for Telegraph Hill
Which station is closest to Telegraph Hill?
Guests can use Brockley station, which is right in Telegraph Hill.
We are having a ceremony at St Catherine's Hatcham: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.

Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
London streets around Telegraph Hill 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Winter evenings in Telegraph Hill 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.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Find out what power and water are available
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
