Hooley questions
Is it possible to have you in Shabden 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 will send what they need from us.
Where would you park in Hooley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors, with allergen information for every dish.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

How we price Mexican street food
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
- The length of service
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How it compares
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free visitors. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- We cover Hooley and the whole of Greater London
- A menu agreed with you
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
