Mexican party catering for your party in Derry Downs
It is easy to cater for all ages and diets. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and quesadillas go down well with children, with allergen information for every dish. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it suits street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and retirement celebrations.
In Derry Downs, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. 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 plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A party in Derry Downs in late May has daylight until about 8:50pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
