Mexican catering in Thamesmead, served fresh
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. It works well for charity and school events and markets and community events, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and burrito bowls.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Thamesmead come in all shapes. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
Thamesmead is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Guests leaving a church like St Paul after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready.

When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A December event in Thamesmead will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we’re serving
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of where we’d park
- Where the event is
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count children separately
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.

Common questions in Thamesmead
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Abbey Wood 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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul?
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’ll check the access.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us 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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
