Our Mexican catering in CR2
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. It works well for summer garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties, with tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Cost
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.

Mexican catering across CR2: what to know
CR2 covers everything from Croydon, Purley and Waddon to 3 small villages and hamlets, and a truck or trailer suits most settings with access and level ground. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access and ground.
South Croydon: If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Augustine, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Guests arriving by train will find that South Croydon has its own station, Sanderstead station. In South Croydon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
Events we cater in CR2
The truck or trailer becomes a focal point, and the smell of warm tortillas brings people over.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Summer garden parties
- Family gatherings and christenings
- Fundraisers and school events
- Retirement and leaving parties
Mexican catering or something else?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate.

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Common questions in CR2
What areas do you cover?
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 CR2.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
