How far is Cop Street from London?
It is about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you bring margaritas?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we’ll go from there.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Where the truck can go in Cop Street
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Summer events in Cop Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
