Our Mexican catering in CR7
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across CR7 and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there’s safe access. Popular choices include loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, which works well for garden get-togethers and family gatherings and christenings.
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.

Planning a food truck in CR7
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in CR7, so whether your event is in Thornton Heath, Broad Green and Norbury or a quiet village, the approach is the same: access, level ground and a clear plan.
Thornton Heath: A gathering in Grangewood Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Reaching Thornton Heath by road is easy for us, thanks to the A23 and A212. In Thornton Heath, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
Mexican catering or something else?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, yet it is still food most guests know and like.

- The deadline for final numbers
- The venue requirements
- How bad weather is handled
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Popular choices
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event.
Quesadillas
