Street food for events around Harringay
Harringay is about 2 miles north-west of West Hackney, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Harringay will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Harringay is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Harringay to London (about 6 miles away).
Rail travel is an option for visitors, as Harringay has its own station, Harringay Green Lanes station. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as St Paul's Harringay could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac.

How our Mexican street food works in Harringay
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos and burritos, and it suits hospitality and crew areas and sports clubs and race days.
In Harringay, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures typically need council permission, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Common questions in Harringay
Is it possible to have you in Chestnuts Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Harringay?
Guests can use Harringay Green Lanes station, which is right in Harringay.
Is the food made fresh?
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 come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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 the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it is dark in Harringay at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- We check your 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
