How our Mexican street food works in Swiss Cottage
We follow your site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. At village fêtes and summer fairs and hospitality and crew areas, we can serve burritos, tacos and burrito bowls for your guests.
Events in Swiss Cottage range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for from us. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Provide seating near the food
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Share vehicle access times with traders
On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.
Nachos for groups.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evening events in Swiss Cottage have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Event catering near Swiss Cottage
Swiss Cottage is about 1 mile south of Hampstead, in Greater London. Events in Swiss Cottage are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Organisers looking at Primrose Hill as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as The UCL Academy, a busy corner.
This part of Greater London takes in NW3, NW8 and NW6. Whether your event is on Avenue Road, Acacia Road and Harben Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in South Hampstead (1 mile north), St John's Wood (1 mile south), Haverstock (1 mile east), Belsize Park (1 mile east) and Primrose Hill (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in London (4 miles south-east), Kensington (3 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south-east), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east) and Hoxton (4 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Isokon Gallery (0.8 miles north-east) and Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth (0.7 miles south). Green spaces nearby include The Long Water and Primrose Hill.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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’ll do the serving.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Trader information and site rules
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
As a London location, Swiss Cottage 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 booking.
