How our Mexican party catering works in Elmers End
Taco bars are made for parties: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. We serve tacos, guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos, which works well for graduation and exam-results parties and retirement celebrations.
Planning a London party in Elmers End? 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. Mention parking bays and permits. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Questions from Elmers End
Could you serve in Winsford Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
We’re having a ceremony at St James's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with 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 soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Have bins ready
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
Kids enjoy queuing at the hatch, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Simple quesadillas for children.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it’s light in Elmers End until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
Elmers End is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
For event organisers in Elmers End
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
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.
