How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. By late September, it’s dark in Deptford at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Running an event in Deptford

A school such as Tidemill Academy running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as St. Paul's could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Deptford
Do you come to school fairs around Deptford?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is it possible to have you in Sue Godfrey Nature 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.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Trader information and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
As a London location, Deptford is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
