Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- What power and water the site has

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Vehicle access before and after the event
East End of London 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Summer events in East End of London have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.

- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A menu agreed with you
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
