Mexican party catering in Shadwell, served fresh
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no prep and no hours in the kitchen. The food is our job. It works well for housewarmings and engagement and anniversary parties, serving guacamole and salsas, burritos and tacos.
In Shadwell, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot out front may work, with permission. Parking needs planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
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.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
FAQs for Shadwell
Is parking a problem for events in Shadwell?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Paul's Church?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Shadwell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Shadwell is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A summer party in Shadwell stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.

- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Before we arrive

Comparing your options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us

Where the truck can go in Shadwell
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Space for guests to queue
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
Shadwell 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 will say what we think before booking.
