Mexican street food near Woolwich
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Summer events in Woolwich have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Woolwich questions
Could you serve in Woolwich Common?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Where would you park in Woolwich?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Woolwich?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Woolwich and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Woolwich.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and the route in
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
As a London location, Woolwich is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
