A closer look at the menu

Burritos

Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla.

Tacos

Warm tortillas with a filling and fresh toppings, served from the hatch.

The process

Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. For a winter party in Canning Town, it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.

  3. We check access and arrive before your guests.
  4. Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
  5. We pack down after service.

How to prepare

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Working with your venue

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Before you choose a spot

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:

  • Send a photo of the spot so we can check
  • Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
  • A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours

As a London location, Canning Town is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Canning Town: your questions answered

Which station should guests use for Canning Town?

Custom House station, in Canning Town itself.

What about parking in Canning Town?

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.

Can you cater at a hired venue?

Yes, if there’s space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.

How big an event can you cater?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

What about power on site?

It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

Do you cater for children?

Yes. Quesadillas and simple tacos go down well with children, with salsas served separately. Include children in your numbers.

Can you cater for children?

Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
