About our Mexican party catering in Old Malden
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and the food comes out hot. For exam-results parties and garden get-togethers, we can serve guacamole and salsas, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a place like Old Malden, a garden party is generally the easiest option. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we will plan the rest. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Old Malden questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Hogsmill LNR?
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.
Which station is closest to Old Malden?
Guests can use Tolworth station, about 0.5 miles west of Old Malden.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
