How our Mexican party catering works in Penge

A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. Our truck or trailer parks up and we serve hot food as the party goes on. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for engagement and anniversary parties and exam-results parties.

In Penge, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. We can look at parking on a drive or out front, with permission. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning too. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Common questions in Penge

Which station should guests use for Penge?

Guests can use Penge West station, which is right in Penge.

We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?

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’ll check the access.

Do you come to Penge?

We do. We serve at events in Penge and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Can you do a kids’ option?

Most children enjoy it, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Tell us how many children and their ages.

Can you do gluten-free food?

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

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.

How long do you serve for?

We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.

How much space 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 picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

What we need at the venue

The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

  • Some distance from houses and neighbours
  • Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
  • Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on

As a London location, Penge 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.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What Mexican party catering costs

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • The length of service
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • What the venue already provides
  • How many staff you need

What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Details that help

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Your menu ideas
  • How we drive in and where we can park
  • What power and water the site has
  • The venue or postcode

Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your party, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

Planning for every diet

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Include at least one vegan filling
  • Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
  • Warn the neighbours about the truck
  • Count adults and children separately

When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.

How it works

When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. For a winter party in Penge, it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us when and where, and how many.
  2. We suggest a menu and send a quote.
  3. We check access and arrive before your guests.
  4. Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
  5. We pack down after service.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want service to start
  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Planning help

For event organisers in Penge

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
