How our Mexican street food works in Colindale

Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. It suits crew and volunteer catering and open days and community events, with burrito bowls, vegan tacos and quesadillas.

London street parties and fairs in Colindale need careful planning around road closures, access and pitch size. Send us the pitch size, access route and timings. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Common questions in Colindale

Is parking a problem for events in Colindale?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

What’s the nearest station to Colindale for guests?

Guests can use Hendon station, about 1 mile south-east of Colindale.

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 cater for coeliacs?

Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.

Can you serve in the rain?

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.

Do you have vegan options?

Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.

What about power on site?

It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

The process

The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Evening events in Colindale have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.

Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

Name one person we can ask on the day
Give us your final numbers and diets
Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Ask for a quote

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Should I do it myself?

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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.

What affects the price in Colindale

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The number of people
Your choice of food and drinks
Parking and the route in

The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

Roughly how many adults and children
The venue or postcode
Any dietary needs and allergies
Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.

About the menu

Quesadillas

A good choice for families.

Loaded nachos

Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa and toppings for sharing.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Schedule crew meals
Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Plan access routes for trader vehicles
Plan seating near the food area

If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.

A vegan filling on every menu.

What we need at the venue

Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:

Vehicle access before and after the event
A level pitch on firm ground
Clearance from tents and gazebos

In Colindale, 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.

How it compares

Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
