What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- Vehicle access near the bar
In Forest Gate, 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.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

FAQs for Forest Gate
Can you bring your truck or trailer to West Ham Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What about parking in Forest Gate?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater in Forest Gate?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Forest Gate is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Yes. Under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
