- A bar spot away from homes
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby

Newington Green questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Highbury Fields?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Newington Green Unitarian 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.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
