Mexican catering near St James's
Mexican catering in St James's, from our truck or trailer
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. It works well for garden parties and fairs and festivals, serving a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and quesadillas.
In a London neighbourhood like St James's, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. All of Greater London, St James's included, is inside the ULEZ. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In St James's, 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 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
St James's questions
Which station is closest to St James's?
Guests can use London Charing Cross station, which is right in St James's.
Is it possible to have you in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
What do you need at the venue?
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.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with 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.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

How it compares
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
