FAQs for Eel Pie Island
Is parking a problem for events in Eel Pie Island?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, sunset in Eel Pie Island comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Room for a queue
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
London streets around Eel Pie Island 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
