How our Mexican catering works in Upper Clapton

We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Upper Clapton: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. It suits family gatherings and christenings and anniversaries and engagements, with burrito bowls, quesadillas and burritos.

From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Upper Clapton come in all shapes. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Upper Clapton: your questions answered

Which station is closest to Upper Clapton?

Guests can use Clapton station, about 0.6 miles south of Upper Clapton.

What about parking in Upper Clapton?

That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.

What do you need at the venue?

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.

Can you do dairy-free food?

Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.

What about power on site?

Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.

Space, access and the venue

Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:

Space for guests to queue
A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day

Upper Clapton 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Choosing a Mexican caterer

How it works

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Planning an evening event in Upper Clapton? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.

First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
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.

Preparing for the day

Let us know who to talk to on the day
Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Ask the venue about power and water

How to get a price

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

How many tacos per person?

How it compares

For food that feels relaxed but generous, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Can I do a taco night myself?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Give us separate numbers for children
Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains

Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.

Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.

For planners, venues and organisers

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
