Mexican party catering for Barbican Estate events
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Space for guests to queue
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
In Barbican Estate, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Mexican party catering for your party in Barbican Estate
A truck or trailer can often park on a drive or in a garden, if there’s level, firm ground and a way in that’s wide enough. Not sure? Send us a picture. We serve tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it suits street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and housewarming parties.
Most parties in Barbican Estate are in back gardens, which in London are often reached only through the house. We can look at parking on a drive or out front, with permission. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning too. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Barbican Estate questions
Which station is closest to Barbican Estate?
Guests can use Moorgate station, which is right in Barbican Estate.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Giles-without-Cripplegate?
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.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How much space do you need?
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.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
