Mexican street food for High Barnet events
How our Mexican street food works in High Barnet
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and hospitality and crew areas, serving burritos, tacos and loaded nachos.
Events in High Barnet range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces and road closures normally need council permission, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for from us. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. By late September, it is dark in High Barnet at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Event catering near High Barnet
High Barnet is about 1 mile north-west of Barnet, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of High Barnet or on the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is London, about 12 miles away.
A fundraiser for a church like Christ Church might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. For a public event, it helps to tell people that Hadley Wood station is about 1.6 miles away.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

FAQs for High Barnet
Can you bring your truck or trailer to King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is parking a problem for events in High Barnet?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
How quickly can you serve?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times.
Can you bring margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
