Taco catering in SE27: local guide
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in SE27, so whether your event is in West Norwood, Upper Norwood and Norwood New Town or a quiet village, the approach is the same: access, level ground and a clear plan.
West Norwood: When the service is at a church such as West Norwood Congregational Church, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. The A214 and A215 run on or near West Norwood, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. Winter evenings in West Norwood close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
Why street food works
Mexican street food suits almost any crowd: it’s familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Office lunches and team days
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Christenings and family parties
- Markets and community events
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
What Mexican catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Food, drinks or both
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you are ready, use our quote form.
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
SE27 questions
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can we add a bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll talk licensing through with you before the day.
