Questions from St John's Wood
Is it possible to have you in Primrose Hill?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Souls?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much is a taco truck for a party?
Every party is quoted for individually, depending on numbers, menu and where you are. Contact us for a quote.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need, and we will set out what we can do in the quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How early should we book?
Early, especially for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Mexican party catering in St John's Wood, from our truck or trailer
Birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations all suit Mexican street food. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and the food comes out hot. Popular choices include loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole and salsas, which works well for leaving dos and retirements and garden get-togethers.
In St John's Wood, 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. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning too. Everything is prepared fresh for your party and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
