Reaching Plumstead by road is easy for us, thanks to the A206. Close to Plumstead are historic houses such as Danson House (2.7 miles south-east) and Eltham Palace (3.1 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first.
Wherever your event is in SE18, SE28 and E16, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your event is on Moy Lane, Love Lane and Tuam Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access.

Mexican catering in Plumstead, from our food truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. It suits retirement and leaving parties and office lunches and team days, with loaded nachos, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a London neighbourhood like Plumstead, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. Like all of Greater London, Plumstead is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Plumstead
Where would you park in Plumstead?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is it possible to have you in Plumstead Common?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What space do you need?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
For event organisers in Plumstead
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Plumstead? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Include at least one vegan filling
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Space for guests to queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
In Plumstead, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. In Plumstead, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.

How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has

What else we do in Plumstead
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
- 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
