Mexican party catering in Wanstead
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
As a London location, Wanstead is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Mexican party catering for your party in Wanstead
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with alcohol-free options for drivers and children. We’ll talk licensing through with you. Popular choices include tacos, burritos and guacamole and salsas, and it suits leaving dos and retirements and new-home celebrations.
Most parties in Wanstead are in back gardens, which in London are often reached only through the house. 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 serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

The closest is Leytonstone High Road station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is parking a problem for events in Wanstead?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.

Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
