Mexican party catering near Little Portugal

Planning a party in Little Portugal

Little Portugal is about 1 mile north of Stockwell, in Greater London. From the centre of Little Portugal to the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Little Portugal is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.

Nearby historic houses include Buckingham Palace (2 miles north-west) and Carlyle's House (2.2 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. No room on the drive? A hired hall or club around Little Portugal with a car park could host the party instead.

Anywhere in SW9, SW8 and SW1P, we can bring Mexican party catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Kay Road, Lett Road and Rita Road or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. You’ll find Little Portugal on the A203, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. We also serve at parties in South Lambeth (1 mile north), North Brixton (1 mile east), Stockwell (1 mile south), Kennington (1 mile north) and Oval (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (3 miles north-west), Marylebone (3 miles north), Kensington (4 miles north-west), St Pancras (4 miles north), Shoreditch (4 miles north-east) and Walthamstow (9 miles north-east).

Other landmarks nearby include The Gordon Hospital (1.4 miles north-west) and Gabriel's Wharf (2.4 miles north). The countryside around Little Portugal includes Knight's Hill and Battersea Park Lake.

  • Schools near Little Portugal include Allen Edwards Primary School (less than half a mile west) and Durand Academy (within half a mile east)
  • Nearby, you will find The Canton Arms (within half a mile north)
  • Other local spots include Lambeth Palace Library (1.6 miles north) and City and Liberty of Westminster (1.7 miles north)

Mexican party catering in Little Portugal, served fresh

Taco bars are made for parties: everyone builds their own tacos from the fillings and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. We serve quesadillas, guacamole and salsas and tacos, and it suits retirement and leaving parties and neighbourhood celebrations.

In Little Portugal, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot out front may work, with permission. Parking needs planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Comparing your options

Compared with a barbecue, a food truck serves steadily from the start, and nobody is stuck at the grill. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Catering for every guest

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Have cover ready for a shower
  • Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
  • Count adults and children separately
  • Give the neighbours a heads-up

Kids enjoy queuing at the hatch.

Quesadillas for younger guests.

Common questions in Little Portugal

Can you bring your truck or trailer to Larkhall Park?

It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.

Guests can use Wandsworth Road station, about 0.7 miles south-west of Little Portugal.

Can you cater for special diets?

Can you do gluten-free food?

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

What food and drinks do you offer?

Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.

Do you need electricity?

It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.

Can you come to a private house?

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
