Where the truck can go in East End of London
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
In East End of London, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Questions from East End of London
Is food truck hire possible at a house in East End of London?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
