Mexican street food in Catford, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. It works well for crew and volunteer catering and community events and open days, with vegan tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
Street parties and school fairs in Catford can be a great fit for a taco truck, once the road closure or site permission is in place. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Flat, firm ground
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
In Catford, 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.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Share power and water details early
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
Step by step
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, events in Catford stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Find out what power and water are available

Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Which station should guests use for Catford?
Catford Bridge station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
