Our Mexican catering in SE16

Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. It suits fairs and festivals and milestone birthdays, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.

When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
  2. Expect a suggested menu and a quote.

Mexican catering across SE16: what to know

There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in SE16, so whether your event is in Bermondsey, Rotherhithe and Shadwell or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings.

Rotherhithe: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Alfred Salter Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. When the service is at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. From late May to late September, sunset in Rotherhithe moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.

Prices and what affects them

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Serving staff
  • Whether you need disposables
  • Your choice of food and drinks
  • How long we’re needed on site

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
