What affects the price in Charlton
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- What power and water the site has
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Your trader pack and site rules
Charlton is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, events in Charlton stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
