Catering events across N16
From Highbury, West Hackney and Mildmay to 0 villages and hamlets, events across N16 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, 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.
West Hackney: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Benthal Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. When the service is at a church such as St Michael and All Angels, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. A December event in West Hackney will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
What affects the price in N16
Contact us for a quote, which reflects:
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Space for guests to queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings.

Your questions about Mexican catering in N16
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
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.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
