DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Trader information and site rules
As a London location, Elm Park 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Common questions in Elm Park
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Elm Park?
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.
Which station should guests use for Elm Park?
Guests can use Emerson Park station, about 1.7 miles north-east of Elm Park.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cater in Elm Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Elm Park is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. We confirm power and water with each booking.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. Late-September events in Elm Park see sunset at about 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare

What Mexican street food costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
