Mexican party catering in Thamesmead, served fresh

Birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations all suit Mexican street food. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and the food comes out hot. For family get-togethers and retirement and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and guacamole and salsas.

In Thamesmead, 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:

  • Collect dietary needs with your invites
  • Have bins ready
  • Ensure there’s a vegan option
  • Put severe allergies to us in writing

If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.

Loaded nachos to share while the party gets going.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Common questions in Thamesmead

Is it possible to have you in Abbey Wood Park?

Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.

Which station is closest to Thamesmead?

Guests can use Abbey Wood station, about 1 mile south of Thamesmead.

Do you cover Thamesmead?

Yes, we do. Thamesmead is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Can you cater a party at a village hall?

Often, yes. We need a suitable spot outside and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book.

Do you give allergen information?

Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

How spicy is the food?

The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

Do you have options for kids?

Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

We keep vegetarian and vegan fillings separate, and every dish is labelled. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.

The process

We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Thamesmead, it is light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 3:50pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
  2. You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
  3. We confirm access, parking, power and water.
  4. On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down after service so the party can carry on.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Prices and what affects them

We quote for your event, and the price is based on:

  • What’s on the menu
  • The length of service
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

  • The venue or postcode

  • Your menu ideas

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.

What we need at the venue

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
  • Send a picture of the spot so we can check

London streets around Thamesmead can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
