About Mexican catering in BR3

You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. It suits retirement and leaving parties and family celebrations, serving a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.

Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time.

  1. Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
  2. We plan a menu that covers every diet.
  3. We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
  4. Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
  5. We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

What’s near Beckenham

Events here might be close to Beckenham Place Park, The George Inn and Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green. Also close by are Harris Academy Beckenham (0.6 miles south) and Christ Church (within half a mile south-east). There is a railway station in Beckenham itself: Beckenham Junction station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are Prefab Museum (2.2 miles north-east) and Greenwich Castle (5 miles north). For a walk before or after the party, there’s Summer Hill and Dacres Wood.

  • Parks and local facilities nearby include Municipal Borough of Bromley (2 miles east)

Planning a food truck in BR3

There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in BR3, so the setting can be anything from Beckenham, Plaistow and Shortlands to a quiet hamlet: access, level ground and a clear plan.

Beckenham: If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Christ Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. The B230 and B251 run on or near Beckenham, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. In Beckenham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

Occasions we cater for in BR3

It handles mixed diets without fuss, because guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

  • Garden get-togethers
  • Fairs and festivals
  • Anniversaries and engagements
  • Big birthday celebrations

Can I do a taco night myself?

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

What we need at the venue

Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:

  • Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
  • Space for guests to queue
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

Planning for every diet

We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:

  • Count children separately
  • Ensure the menu has a vegan option
  • Let us know if a guest is coeliac
  • Mention any other caterers or courses

Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.

Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

For event organisers in BR3
