Mexican party catering for Upton events
About our Mexican party catering in Upton
Taco bars are made for parties: everyone builds their own tacos from the fillings and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. It works well for birthday parties and christenings and naming days, with a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos.
Most parties in Upton are in back gardens, which in London are often reached only through the house. If the truck or trailer can’t 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Who books Mexican party catering in Upton?
The food is served hot from the hatch, even when the party is outdoors.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Big birthdays
- Exam-results parties
- Garden parties
- Retirement and leaving parties
A birthday picnic in West Ham Park sounds fun, but bringing in a catering vehicle needs the owner’s agreement.

Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. In Upton, it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 3:50pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
Kids enjoy queuing at the hatch, and quesadillas are a safe bet.

Upton: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Upton?
Guests can use Forest Gate station, about 0.8 miles north of Upton.
What about parking in Upton?
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.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Upton.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much does party catering cost?
We quote for each party, based on numbers, the menu and the location. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Is Mexican party catering right for your party?
