How our Mexican catering works in Turnpike Lane
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. We serve burrito bowls, burritos and tacos, and it’s a good fit for engagement celebrations and weddings, day or evening.
In a London neighbourhood like Turnpike Lane, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. 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, Turnpike Lane is inside the ULEZ. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Turnpike Lane: venues, access and local tips
Turnpike Lane is about 3 miles north of Highbury, in Greater London. From the centre of Turnpike Lane to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 764 places across Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Turnpike Lane to London (6 miles away).
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like North Harringay Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. Before you pencil in Ducketts Common, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
This part of Greater London takes in N8, N22 and N15. Streets in the area include Bury Road, High Road and Glebe Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Turnpike Lane for Mexican catering include Hornsey (1 mile west), Noel Park (1 mile north), Wood Green (1 mile north), Stroud Green (1 mile south) and Crouch End (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (6 miles south), City of Westminster (6 miles south), Marylebone (5 miles south), Kensington (7 miles south-west), St Pancras (4 miles south) and Shoreditch (5 miles south).

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
As a London location, Turnpike Lane is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Turnpike Lane questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John The Baptist (greek Orthodox)?

Which station is closest to Turnpike Lane?
Hornsey station, in Turnpike Lane itself.

Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

We can. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Comparing your options
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why book with us
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Menus chosen with you

- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer

What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Turnpike Lane, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
