About our Mexican party catering in Eltham
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking and no washing up of pans. We take care of the food. It suits family reunions and street and neighbourhood parties, with loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole and salsas.
In Eltham, 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. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning too. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Eltham: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Horn Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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 bring plates and cutlery?
Tell us what you need and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
Can you park at my house?
Often, yes, if there is level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send us a photo of the space.
How much is a taco truck for a party?
We do not publish set prices, because every party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Planning a party in Eltham
Eltham is about 7 miles west of Dartford, in Greater London. Wherever your party is in the SE9 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Eltham is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican party catering. We cater right across the region, from Eltham to London (about 8 miles away).
A birthday picnic in Horn Park sounds fun, but bringing in a catering vehicle needs the owner’s agreement. Nearby historic houses include Eltham Palace (under half a mile north-west) and Danson House (2.8 miles east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Mexican party catering in SE9, SE12, DA15 and BR7 is planned around your venue and access. Whether your party is on Eltham High Street, Tarnwood Park and Elmslie Court or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican party catering there, given access. You will find Eltham on the A20 and B263, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Middle Park (1 mile west), New Eltham (1 mile south-east), Well Hall (1 mile north), Coldharbour (1 mile south) and Avery Hill (1 mile north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as London (8 miles north-west), City of Westminster (10 miles north-west), Marylebone (10 miles north-west), Kensington (12 miles west), St Pancras (9 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Eltham Community Hospital (less than half a mile north) and Metropolitan Police Museum (2.1 miles east). Open spaces near Eltham include The Tarn and Summer Hill.

- Pubs nearby include The Greyhound Public House (within half a mile north)
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Mexican party catering or something else?
Compared with a barbecue, a food truck serves steadily from the start, and nobody is stuck at the grill. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A picture of the drive or garden helps us check the space
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
In Eltham, 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’ll advise before booking.
