Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
In Canonbury, 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 will say what we think before you book.
About our Mexican party catering in Canonbury
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and every plate goes out hot. It suits big family gatherings and graduation and exam-results parties, with loaded nachos, burritos and tacos.
Most parties in Canonbury 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. Parking needs planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Canonbury
We are having a ceremony at St Paul's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Canonbury?
Guests can use Canonbury station, which is right in Canonbury.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Do you give allergen information?
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.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Canonbury?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How far ahead should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we will check.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
We keep our serving area tidy and safe.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Party venues around Canonbury
Canonbury is about 2 miles north-east of St Pancras, in Greater London. From the centre of Canonbury to the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Canonbury is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Parks such as Shoreditch Park usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Once the service at a church like St Paul's Church is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue.
For Mexican party catering in N1, N1P and E8, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Dove Road, Essex Road and Clare Lane, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. With the A1199 and A1200 close by, Canonbury is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer for your party. If your venue is just outside Canonbury, we also cover De Beauvoir Town (1 mile east), Mildmay (1 mile north-east), Kingsland (1 mile east), Newington Green (1 mile north) and Highbury (1 mile north-west).
