About our Mexican party catering in Barkingside
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with alcohol-free options for drivers and children. Licensing is checked with you first. On the menu are quesadillas, loaded nachos and burritos, which works well for retirement celebrations and street and neighbourhood parties.
Most parties in Barkingside 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. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Barkingside
What’s the nearest station to Barkingside for guests?
Guests can use Seven Kings station, about 1.6 miles south of Barkingside.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Fairlop Waters?
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.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Summer garden parties
- Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers
- Milestone birthdays

Nearby historic houses include Valentines Mansion (1.2 miles south-west) and Eastbury Manor House (3.6 miles south). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site.
Before booking anyone
- How each diet is kept separate
- Staff numbers and hours
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Warn the neighbours about the truck
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
We arrive before your guests to set up, so food is ready when you want it.
Quesadillas for younger guests.
