What else we do in South Hornchurch
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Your questions about Mexican street food in South Hornchurch
Can you trade at a school fair in South Hornchurch?
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 it possible to have you in Beam Valley Country 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’ll send what they need from us.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event, and we’ll go from there.
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 talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
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.

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
As a London location, South Hornchurch 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Loaded nachos for sharing.
