Mexican catering in Woodford Wells
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
How our Mexican catering works in Woodford Wells
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. It works well for markets and community events and leaving parties, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Events in Woodford Wells 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 arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

FAQs for Woodford Wells
What about parking in Woodford Wells?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What are your prices?
Every event is quoted for individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.

What else we do in Woodford Wells
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
In Woodford Wells, 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.
