Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running an event in Clapham
Clapham is about 3 miles north of Streatham, in Greater London. From the centre of Clapham to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Clapham is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Clapham High Street station is in Clapham itself. If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Clapham Manor Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
Anywhere in SW4, SW8 and SW9, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Your event could be at a home on Grafton Square, Clapham High Street and Houghton Square. Being close to the B224 and B303, Clapham is simple for us to get to with the truck or trailer for your event. For events just outside Clapham, we cover Stockwell (1 mile east), Little Portugal (1 mile north-east), Clapham Park (1 mile south), South Lambeth (1 mile north-east) and Brixton (1 mile south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as London (3 miles north-east), City of Westminster (3 miles north), Marylebone (4 miles north), Kensington (4 miles north-west), St Pancras (4 miles north) and Shoreditch (5 miles north-east).
A little further out are Soseki Museum (under half a mile west) and Streatham Hill (1.9 miles south). The countryside around Clapham includes Battersea Park Lake and Knight's Hill.
- Schools near Clapham include Lambeth Academy (0.6 miles south) and Trinity Academy (1 mile south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Bread and Roses pub (less than half a mile south-east)
Why choose Mexican street food in Clapham?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Flat, firm ground
In Clapham, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
About the menu
Quesadillas
A good choice for families.
Loaded nachos
Sharing nachos go down well.
What Mexican street food costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Serving staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Clapham
Is parking a problem for events in Clapham?
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.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Clapham?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you bring margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We will talk licensing through with you.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cover Clapham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Clapham is within our area. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
