How Mexican catering works in N3

Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for summer garden parties and fairs and festivals, with tacos, quesadillas and burritos.

We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table.

  1. First, send us a few details about your event.
  2. We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
  3. We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
  4. On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
  5. Once service ends, we clear away.

Catering events across N3

There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in N3, so whether your event is in Finchley, East Finchley and Church End or a quiet village, the approach is the same: access, level ground and a clear plan.

Finchley: Parks such as Victoria Park usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Paul's Finchley, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. A December event in Finchley 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.

Planning the serving area

We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
  • Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
  • Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch

What’s on the menu

Tacos

Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.

Build-your-own taco bar

The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.

How we price Mexican catering

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Timings and hours
  • The menu you choose
  • Serving staff
  • Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

Details that help

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Where the event is
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
  • Expected numbers
  • The date and time of the event

The quickest way to a quote is to send a quick message through our quote form. Tell us about your event in N3, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.

Should I do it myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
  • Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
  • Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
  • Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations

For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.

Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
