Your questions about Mexican street food in Herne Hill
Which station should guests use for Herne Hill?
Guests can use North Dulwich station, which is right in Herne Hill.
Is it possible to have you in Belair 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.
What does Mexican street food cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you come to Herne Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Herne Hill is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.

How we price Mexican street food
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff for serving and the bar
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Where the truck can go in Herne Hill
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
In Herne Hill, 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.
