Mexican street food in Blackwall, from our food truck or trailer
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. For outdoor cinema and theatre nights and sports clubs and race days, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas and more.
In Blackwall, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Common questions in Blackwall
Do you come to school fairs around Blackwall?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is it possible to have you in Bow Creek Ecology 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 will send what they need from us.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

Planning the serving area

- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Clear information on power, water and waste
Blackwall is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: 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 before booking.
The process
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Christmas markets in Blackwall trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
