Throwing a party in Monkhams? 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. Tell us about parking bays, permits and any parking suspension. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What Mexican party catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Serving staff
- What the venue already provides
- How long we are needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
- What you’d like on the menu
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Questions from Monkhams
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints' Church?
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.
Which station is closest to Monkhams?
Highams Park station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Typically, if there is firm, level ground and a way in that’s wide and tall enough. Send a picture and we will check.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you plan for allergies?
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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is Mexican food OK for kids?
Yes. Quesadillas and simple tacos go down well with children, with salsas served separately. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you cater at halls and clubs?
Often, yes. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
London streets around Monkhams can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
How the day works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In Monkhams, it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 3:50pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Let the neighbours know
- Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
Kids enjoy queuing at the hatch, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Loaded nachos to share as a starter.
