Mexican party catering in Shacklewell
How our Mexican party catering works in Shacklewell
Mixed ages and mixed diets are easy. Quesadillas suit children, and we plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. On the menu are guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, and it’s a good fit for graduation celebrations and birthday parties.
In Shacklewell, 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. Parking needs planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Shacklewell questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Stoke Newington Common?
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’ll send what they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Barnabas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in Shacklewell?
We do. Shacklewell is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, it’s light in Shacklewell until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.

Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Shacklewell is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
