About our Mexican party catering in London Docklands
A build-your-own taco bar is ideal for a party: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. At leaving dos and retirements and neighbourhood celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and burritos.
Throwing a party in London Docklands? Street food from a truck or trailer keeps you out of the kitchen, at a venue, a courtyard or a house with off-street parking. Tell us about parking bays, permits and any parking suspension. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Throwing a late-May party in London Docklands? The sun sets at about 8:50pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Where the truck can go in London Docklands
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
As a London location, London Docklands is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
