How our Mexican catering works in Upper Walthamstow
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. We serve tacos, burritos and loaded nachos, and it suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and christenings and family parties.
Events in Upper Walthamstow 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. Send us a photo of the access. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
In Upper Walthamstow, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Common questions in Upper Walthamstow
Which station should guests use for Upper Walthamstow?
Wood Street station, in Upper Walthamstow itself.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter in the Forest?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How much does Mexican catering cost?

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests.

- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
