Your questions about Mexican street food in Childs Hill
Which station should guests use for Childs Hill?
Guests can use Cricklewood station, about 0.7 miles south-west of Childs Hill.
Could you serve in Childs Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you cover Childs Hill?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Childs Hill and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
