DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
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.
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Sydenham
Add our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free options too. We’ll check the licensing with you and your venue. For big weddings with every diet and day-after celebrations, we can serve fresh guacamole and salsas, burrito bowls and evening tacos for your guests.
London weddings around Sydenham often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue. For a truck or trailer, the venue needs a courtyard, forecourt or car park we can drive into, so check vehicle access with the venue early. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How we price wedding Mexican catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- What you’d like on the menu
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Organising a club, school or community event in Sydenham? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Questions from Sydenham
Where would you park in Sydenham?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station is closest to Sydenham?
Guests can use Sydenham station, which is right in Sydenham.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and move the serving time if needed.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
Diets are planned in advance and kept separate. Ask any guests with severe allergies to speak to us first.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
We serve evening food when the running order says, often after the first dance.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
London streets around Sydenham can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

How it works
