Mexican party catering in Cockfosters

Mexican party catering in Cockfosters, from our truck or trailer

A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. We serve tacos, burritos and loaded nachos, and it suits baby celebrations and family reunions.

Planning a London party in Cockfosters? Street food from a truck or trailer keeps you out of the kitchen, and can work at a hired venue, a courtyard or a home with a drive. Tell us about parking bays, permits and any parking suspension. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
  • Give separate numbers for children
  • Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
  • Plan a covered spot for wet weather

When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.

Loaded nachos to share as a starter.

How it works

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A summer party in Cockfosters stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. We start by checking your date and the space.
  2. You choose fillings, sides and extras.
  3. We confirm power, water and the way in.
  4. Service starts at the agreed time.
  5. We pack away and the party carries on.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Getting a price

DIY taco night or a caterer?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

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, with allergen information for every dish.

Cockfosters: your questions answered

Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?

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. Send us the reception address.

Where would you park in Cockfosters?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Cockfosters.

Do we need to provide plates?

Tell us what you need and we will include the options in your quote.

Can you serve in the rain?

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.

Is Mexican food OK for kids?

It is popular with children, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Tell us how many children and their ages.

Do you do parties at home?

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
