Eel Pie Island is about 1 mile east of Twickenham, in Greater London. Events in Eel Pie Island are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in 764 places across Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Eel Pie Island to London (11 miles away).
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Twickenham station is in Eel Pie Island itself. Eel Pie Island is on or near the A305 and A310, so getting the truck or trailer to your pitch is simple.
Wherever your event is in TW1, TW10 and TW2, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
Why choose Mexican street food in Eel Pie Island?

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Late-September events in Eel Pie Island see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

What else we do in Eel Pie Island
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Trader information and site rules
As a London location, Eel Pie Island 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

FAQs for Eel Pie Island
Is it possible to have you in Marble Hill 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.
What about parking in Eel Pie Island?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you cover Eel Pie Island?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Eel Pie Island. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Will there be long queues?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers.
