About our Mexican catering in Woolwich
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. It works well for company summer parties and family celebrations, with a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In Woolwich, events range from courtyards to hired halls. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Woolwich
Could you serve in Woolwich Common?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Where would you park in Woolwich?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can we add a bar?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We’ll check the licensing with you.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of where we’d park
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote.

How it compares
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In Woolwich, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
As a London location, Woolwich is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
