Is Mexican street food right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up

As a London location, New Eltham is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

New Eltham: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in New Eltham?
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.
Is it possible to have you in Elmstead Wood?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will check availability.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
