How our Mexican party catering works in Swiss Cottage
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting and there’s no need for a seating plan. It works well for garden parties and new-home celebrations, with guacamole and salsas, burritos and tacos.
In Swiss Cottage, 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. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Details that help

Questions from Swiss Cottage
Which station should guests use for Swiss Cottage?
Swiss Cottage has its own station: South Hampstead station.
Is parking a problem for events in Swiss Cottage?
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.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
It depends on the access and the ground. Tell us about gates, slopes and soft lawns, and we will confirm.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What will our party cost?
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. Send your details and we will send a quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Why choose Mexican party catering in Swiss Cottage?
It brings a bit of holiday feeling to a garden party.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Engagement and anniversary parties

What to look for in a quote
- When final numbers are due
- A clear list of what’s included
- Staff numbers and hours
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Allergen information is available for every dish, so guests can check before ordering.
Bowls as an alternative to tacos.
How it compares
If you want special but not formal, tacos and a taco bar fit perfectly. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we offer in Swiss Cottage
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A menu built around your guests
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Planning a party in Swiss Cottage
Swiss Cottage is about 1 mile south of Hampstead, in Greater London. Tell us where your party in Swiss Cottage will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
After a christening at a church like Church of All Souls, a taco truck at home or at a hall is an easy way to feed family and friends. A birthday picnic in Primrose Hill sounds fun, but bringing in a catering vehicle needs the owner’s agreement.
Here we cover the NW3, NW8 and NW6 postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Your party could be at a home on Avenue Road, Acacia Road and Harben Road. We also serve at parties in South Hampstead (1 mile north), St John's Wood (1 mile south), Haverstock (1 mile east), Belsize Park (1 mile east) and Primrose Hill (1 mile east). We also cater in nearby towns such as London (4 miles south-east), Kensington (3 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south-east), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east) and Hoxton (4 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Isokon Gallery (0.8 miles north-east) and Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth (0.7 miles south). The countryside around Swiss Cottage includes The Long Water and Primrose Hill.
- Nearby schools include Holy Trinity CofE Primary School (less than half a mile north-west) and St. Mary's Town and Country School (less than half a mile north-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find Cafe Med pub (within half a mile south-west)
- Other local spots include Metropolitan Borough of Hampstead (0.7 miles north-east) and Cecil Sharp House (1.1 miles east)

Where the truck can go in Swiss Cottage
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for guests to queue
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
In Swiss Cottage, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A summer party in Swiss Cottage stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We pack down after service.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
