Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
In Highbury, 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Loaded nachos
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
- Mexican drinks bar

A burrito is a full meal in the hand.
Burrito bowls

How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Late-September events in Highbury see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
