How Mexican catering works in SE9

We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. We serve loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, which works well for weddings, day or evening and fairs and festivals.

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving.

  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’ll park.
  4. Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
  5. We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

What’s near Eltham

We can bring the truck to events near Church of Holy Trinity, The Greyhound Public House and Horn Park. Other local landmarks include St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School (less than half a mile north-east) and Eltham Church of England Primary School (0.5 miles north). Eltham has its own railway station: Mottingham station, handy for guests travelling by train. Nearby you will also find Eltham Community Hospital (less than half a mile north) and Metropolitan Police Museum (2.1 miles east). Not far away are The Tarn and Summer Hill.

Planning a food truck in SE9

SE9 covers everything from Eltham, Sidcup and Chislehurst to 0 small villages and hamlets, 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.

Eltham: Guests leaving a church like Church of Holy Trinity after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. By rail: Eltham has its own station, Mottingham station. Winter evenings in Eltham 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.

Catering for every guest

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Let us know about any other food at the event
  • Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP
  • Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed

We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.

Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

For planners, venues and organisers

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Planning the serving area

The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:

  • Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
  • A spot for a taco-bar serving table
  • Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book

Common questions in SE9

Do you do parties at home?

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

What do you serve?

Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

What about power on site?

Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Is the food made fresh?

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.

How many guests can you cater for?

Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
