Party venues around Anerley
Anerley is about 2 miles north-east of Thornton Heath, in Greater London. Whether your party is in the middle of Anerley or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Anerley questions
Which station is closest to Anerley?
Guests can use Anerley station, which is right in Anerley.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is Mexican food OK for kids?
Yes. Quesadillas and simple tacos go down well with children, with salsas served separately. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately. Ask anyone with a severe allergy to speak to us first.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. In Anerley, it is light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 3:55pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
As a London location, Anerley 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
