How our Mexican party catering works in Carshalton
We plan the menu together, perhaps with carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. At naming days and christenings and big birthdays, we can serve tacos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In Carshalton, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot out front may work, 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.

Historic houses near Carshalton include Nonsuch Mansion (2.7 miles west) and Fitznells Manor (3.8 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d park
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just send us your details through our quote form.
Where the truck can go in Carshalton
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Send a picture of the spot so we can check
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
In Carshalton, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

FAQs for Carshalton
Where would you park in Carshalton?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Could you serve in Carshalton Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book.
Can you park at my house?
Typically, if there’s firm, level ground and a way in that is wide and tall enough. Send us a picture of the space.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is Mexican party catering right for your party?
Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. A taco truck stands out. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
