Mexican catering in Wapping
Mexican catering in Wapping, from our truck or trailer
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. It suits birthday parties and charity and school events, with quesadillas, loaded nachos and burritos.
In Wapping, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. 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. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
FAQs for Wapping
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's?
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. Send us the reception address.
Is it possible to have you in William Curtis Ecological Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you cover Wapping?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Wapping and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Planning a food truck in Wapping
Wapping is about 1 mile south-east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Wapping or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 764 places in Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
When the service is at a church such as St Peter's, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. The A101 and A1210 run on or near Wapping, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one.
For Mexican catering in E1, E1W and SE16, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on West Lane, Tunnel Road and Glamis Road or the roads around them. You’ll find Wapping on the A101 and A1210, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater events include St George in the East (1 mile north-west), East End of London (1 mile north-east), Shadwell (1 mile east), Whitechapel (1 mile north-west) and Ratcliff (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in City of Westminster (4 miles west), Marylebone (4 miles west), Kensington (6 miles west), St Pancras (3 miles north-west), Walthamstow (6 miles north) and Hampstead (6 miles north-west).
A little further out are Tower of London (0.7 miles west) and Surrey Quays Shopping Centre (1 mile south-east). The countryside around Wapping includes St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Winter evenings in Wapping close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.

We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
In Wapping, 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.
