How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. For an evening event in Chalk Farm, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know the timings for the day
