Mexican party catering in Highbury, from our truck or trailer
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat while you mingle. Popular choices include burritos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for anniversaries and engagement parties and garden parties.
Throwing a party in Highbury? A food truck means no cooking for you, at a venue, a courtyard or a house with off-street parking. Mention parking bays and permits. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. December parties in Highbury are dark from about 3:55pm, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:20pm.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Preparing for the day

- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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’ll do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Highbury: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Highbury Fields?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you come to Highbury?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Highbury and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t generally 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.
