Mexican catering in Woodside, from our truck or trailer
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and weddings, day or evening, with loaded nachos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a London neighbourhood like Woodside, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect 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, Woodside included, is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
Who books Mexican catering in Woodside?
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Office lunches and team days
- Garden get-togethers
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Luke, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Comparing caterers
- The deadline for final numbers
- A clear list of what’s included
- Allergen information for each dish
- Whether travel is included
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Comparing your options
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, yet it is still food most guests know and like. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

FAQs for Woodside
Could you serve in Ashburton Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, 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 spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What power and water the site has
Send us the date, your venue or CR0 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
London streets around Woodside 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
