Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
As a London location, Beckton 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Questions from Beckton
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Beckton?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Where would you park in Beckton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you bring margaritas?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cover Beckton?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Beckton and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options

- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Ask about peak-time capacity

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Christmas markets in Beckton trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
