Mexican party catering near Abbey Wood

Hosting a taco party in Abbey Wood

Abbey Wood is about 1 mile east of Plumstead, in Greater London. Tell us where your party in Abbey Wood will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We serve in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.

Nearby historic houses include Danson House (2.1 miles south) and Red House (2.3 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles first. Parks such as Abbey Wood Park normally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

This part of Greater London takes in SE2, SE18 and DA16, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Bevan Road, Mcleod Road and Manton Road; for a party at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Abbey Wood sits on or near the A206, which makes travel to your party easy. Nearby, we also cater parties in West Heath (1 mile south-east), Lessness Heath (2 miles east), Belvedere (2 miles east), Welling (2 miles south) and Crook Log (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in London (9 miles west), City of Westminster (12 miles west), Marylebone (11 miles west), Kensington (14 miles west), St Pancras (10 miles west) and Shoreditch (9 miles west).

How our Mexican party catering works in Abbey Wood

Mixed ages and mixed diets are easy. Quesadillas suit children, and we plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options. It suits garden get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties, serving tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.

In Abbey Wood, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot out front may work, with permission. Parking needs planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Planning the serving area

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • A picture of the drive or garden helps us check the space
  • A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site

In Abbey Wood, 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.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A summer party in Abbey Wood stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
  2. We put a menu together and quote for it.
  3. We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
  4. On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
  5. We pack down after service so the party can carry on.

How to prepare

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • How many guests we are serving
  • Staff for serving and the bar
  • How long we are needed on site

Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
  • The date and rough timings
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips

With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:

  • Give separate numbers for children
  • Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
  • Have cover ready for a shower
  • Measure your gate or driveway

We are set up before guests arrive.

Tell us if you need plates or serving staff, and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

How it compares
