How our Mexican street food works in Holloway
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It works well for country shows and crew and volunteer catering, with quesadillas, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
Events in Holloway range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we will send whatever the organiser needs from us. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Give traders a single information pack
- Plan seating near the food area
- Share power and water details early
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Event catering near Holloway

Common questions in Holloway
Do you come to school fairs around Holloway?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Is parking a problem for events in Holloway?
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.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Holloway?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Step by step
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. At midsummer, events in Holloway stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
