Questions from Canning Town
Is it possible to have you in Keir Hardie 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.
Is parking a problem for events in Canning Town?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Mexican street food or something else?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
