Questions from Limehouse
Is it possible to have you in Bartlett Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
We are having a ceremony at St Paul's Bow Common: can you cater afterwards?
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.
What’s on the menu?
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 come to Limehouse?
We do. We serve at events in Limehouse and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Food, drinks or both
- What’s on the menu
- Distance and access to the venue
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. By late September, it’s dark in Limehouse at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
