Mexican catering in West Norwood
Mexican catering in West Norwood, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
In a London neighbourhood like West Norwood, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. All of Greater London, West Norwood included, is inside the ULEZ. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
