Mexican party catering in Pentonville, from our truck or trailer

Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat while you mingle. Popular choices include quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos, and it suits birthday parties and exam-results parties.

Most parties in Pentonville are in back gardens, which in London are often reached only through the house. 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. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Hosting a taco party in Pentonville

Pentonville is about 1 mile north-east of St Pancras, in Greater London. From the centre of Pentonville to the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Pentonville is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican party catering.

Friends travelling without a car may like to know that the nearest station is Essex Road station, about 0.5 miles north-east. Nearby historic houses include Dr Johnson's House (1.4 miles south) and Mansion House (1.6 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles first.

Anywhere in N1, N1P and EC1V, we can bring Mexican party catering to you. That could mean a party at a home with a drive on City Road, Noel Road and Dewey Road or the roads around them. Pentonville is on the A1200, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Other places close to Pentonville for Mexican party catering include Angel (1 mile south-west), Islington (1 mile north), Clerkenwell (1 mile south), Barnsbury (1 mile north-west) and St Pancras (1 mile south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as City of Westminster (3 miles south-west), Kensington (5 miles south-west), Walthamstow (5 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Brompton (4 miles south-west).

A little further out are Royal Chest Hospital (0.6 miles south-east) and Montfichet's Tower (1.5 miles south). The countryside around Pentonville includes Ludgate Hill and St. James's Park Lake.

Where the truck can go in Pentonville

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:

A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance

In Pentonville, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.

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

Pentonville questions

Which station is closest to Pentonville?

Guests can use Essex Road station, about 0.5 miles north-east of Pentonville.

Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Peter?

Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.

What areas do you cover?

We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Can guests build their own tacos?

We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.

How much does Mexican party catering cost in Pentonville?

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.

What about power on site?

That depends on 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 will park.

Is my garden suitable?

It depends on the access and the ground. Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass, and we’ll check it works.

How long do you serve for?

We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.

Organising for someone else?

Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

The menu, item by item

Quesadillas

A good choice for children.

Tacos

Soft tacos with your choice of filling, served from the hatch.

Should I do it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

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

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

Check the width of your gate or drive
Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
Have cover ready for a shower

We’re set up before guests arrive, so food is ready when you want it.

Bowls as an alternative to tacos.

How we price Mexican party catering

The price comes down to a few factors:

Serving staff
How many guests we are serving
Whether you need disposables
Travel, parking and access

Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

What power and water the site has
Any dietary needs and allergies
The date and rough timings
Roughly how many adults and children

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A party in Pentonville in late May has daylight until about 8:50pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.

It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
We put a menu together and quote for it.
We confirm access, parking, power and water.
We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
We pack down after service so the party can carry on.

Preparing for the day

Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Tell us what power and water the site has
