About our Mexican catering in Upper Norwood
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. Popular choices include burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, which works well for garden get-togethers and leaving parties.
Events in Upper Norwood are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Upper Norwood: your questions answered
What about parking in Upper Norwood?
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.
Which station should guests use for Upper Norwood?
Guests can use Gipsy Hill station, which is right in Upper Norwood.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Upper Norwood.
How much will it cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Planning for every diet
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
London streets around Upper Norwood 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Upper Norwood: venues, access and local tips
Upper Norwood is about 4 miles south-east of Stockwell, in Greater London. From the centre of Upper Norwood to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Upper Norwood is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 6 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Christ Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. A gathering in Long Meadow would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.
We serve at events all over SE19, SE27 and SE21. Local streets include Dover Road, Hawke Road and Tudor Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Upper Norwood is on the A214, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Nearby, we also cater events in Norwood New Town (1 mile west), Gipsy Hill (1 mile north-east), West Norwood (1 mile north-west), Crystal Palace (1 mile east) and Anerley (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in London (6 miles north), City of Westminster (7 miles north-west), Marylebone (7 miles north), Kensington (7 miles north-west), St Pancras (7 miles north) and Shoreditch (7 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Crystal Palace Museum (0.5 miles east) and Whitgift Centre (3.1 miles south). Not far away are Dulwich Upper Wood and Knight's Hill.
- Nearby schools include Rockmount Primary School (within half a mile west) and Virgo Fidelis Convent Senior School (under half a mile north-west)
- Local pubs include The Sparrowhawk pub (within half a mile east)
- Other local spots include St Leonard's (2 miles west)
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Allergen information for every dish
- Catering across Greater London, including Upper Norwood
