Our Mexican catering in E16

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for summer garden parties and markets and community events, with a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burrito bowls.

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can.

  1. Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
  2. Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
  3. We confirm the way in and where we will park.
  4. Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
  5. After the last serving, we clear our area.

Around Canning Town

Your event could be close to Keir Hardie Park, The Tidal Basin Tavern and Rosetta Primary School and the streets around them. Also close by are St Cedd's Church (under half a mile north), Royal Docks Academy (0.5 miles south-east) and The Royal Docks Community School (0.5 miles south-east). There is a railway station in Canning Town itself: Custom House station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are West Ham United Football Club Museum (1.4 miles north-east) and Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (0.5 miles east). For a walk before or after the party, there’s Gilbert's Pit and Hollow Pond.

  • Parks and local facilities nearby include East Ham (1.7 miles north-east)

Mexican catering across E16: what to know

E16 covers everything from Plaistow, Plumstead and Canning Town to 4 small villages and hamlets, and a food truck or trailer can work in all of them, given access. In towns, plan parking and loading; in villages, tell us about lanes, gates and ground.

Canning Town: Parks such as Keir Hardie Park usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. Close to Canning Town are historic houses such as Queen's House (2.7 miles south-west) and Eastbury Manor House (3.4 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. Winter evenings in Canning Town close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.

For event organisers in E16

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

What affects the price in E16

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Your choice of food and drinks
  • How many guests we are serving
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • Timings and hours

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

What we need to know

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Where the event is
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
  • Have a covered area ready in case of rain
  • Let us know about any other food at the event
  • Count children separately

On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.

Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.

Comparing your options

A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot.

Comparing caterers

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
  • Payment terms and deposit
  • How bad weather is handled

Who books Mexican catering?

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

  • Weddings and evening receptions
  • Fundraisers and school events
  • Office lunches and team days
  • Family gatherings and christenings
