Common questions in Tower Hamlets
What’s the nearest station to Tower Hamlets for guests?
Guests can use Dover Priory station, which is right in Tower Hamlets.
Can you serve near the sea around Tower Hamlets?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can we add a bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How our Mexican catering works in Tower Hamlets
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For fundraisers and school events and retirement and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos for your guests.
A place like Tower Hamlets may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Winter evenings in Tower Hamlets close in by about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day

Other catering in Tower Hamlets
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

What affects the price in Tower Hamlets
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What’s on the menu
- Serving staff
- How many guests we are serving
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, yet it’s still food most guests know and like. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Tower Hamlets: venues, access and local tips
Tower Hamlets is about 1 mile south of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of Tower Hamlets to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Parks such as High Meadow usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. With the sea within about a mile, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches typically need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
This part of Kent takes in CT17, CT16 and CT15, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Whether your event is on Cow Lane, Odo Road and Eric Road or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access.

We also serve at events in Charlton-in-Dover (1 mile north-east), Guston (2 miles north-east), Church Whitfield (2 miles north), East Langdon (3 miles north-east) and West Cliffe (3 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (14 miles north-west), Folkestone (7 miles south-west), Ramsgate (15 miles north), Deal (7 miles north-east), Hythe (10 miles south-west) and Walmer (7 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Dover Castle (1 mile east) and Royal Victoria Hospital (under half a mile east). Green spaces nearby include Dover Western Heights.
