Questions from West Hackney
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Stoke Newington Common?
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.
We are having a ceremony at St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What can we choose from?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Mexican catering for your event in West Hackney
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos, which works well for big birthday celebrations and garden get-togethers.
In West Hackney, events range from courtyards to hired halls. Let us know where the truck or trailer can stop, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
London streets around West Hackney 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.

Catering an event in West Hackney
West Hackney is about 4 miles north of London, in Greater London. For Mexican catering in West Hackney, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Before you pencil in Stoke Newington Common, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. When the service is at a church such as St Michael and All Angels, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
We cover events in every part of N16, E5 and E8. Local streets include Muir Road, Burma Road and Piano Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. In West Hackney, 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. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
