About our Mexican street food in Hackbridge
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. On the menu are quesadillas, loaded nachos and burritos, and it’s a good fit for outdoor cinema and theatre nights and school and charity events.
London street parties and fairs in Hackbridge need careful planning around road closures, access and pitch size. Send us the pitch size, access route and timings. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
- The event’s site rules and timings
As a London location, Hackbridge 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

What happens on the day
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. A December market in Hackbridge loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Hackbridge
What’s the nearest station to Hackbridge for guests?
Mitcham Eastfields station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Is parking a problem for events in Hackbridge?
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.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
It depends on the event’s licence. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What documents can you send?
Send us your list.
