Hackney Wick questions
Could you serve in Mabley Green?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Do you come to school fairs around Hackney Wick?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.

We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
