How our Mexican street food works in Highgate
Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move. For race days and sports events and open-air performances, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
In Highgate, street events mean planning access, closures and where the truck fits. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Street food for events around Highgate
Highgate is about 2 miles north-east of Hampstead, in Greater London. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Highgate. Highgate is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food.
Organisers looking at Whittington Park as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. A fundraiser for a church like Highgate United Reformed Church might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.
Here we cover the N6, N19 and NW5 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Wood Lane, Grange Road and Talbot Road or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Highgate, we also cover Upper Holloway (1 mile south-east), Dartmouth Park (1 mile south), Lissenden Gardens (1 mile south), Crouch End (1 mile north-east) and Tufnell Park (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in London (5 miles south-east), City of Westminster (4 miles south), Marylebone (4 miles south), Kensington (6 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south) and Shoreditch (4 miles south-east).

How it compares
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Sharing nachos go down well.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a filling, salsa and toppings.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Our pitch is kept tidy.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
London streets around Highgate can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
