Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
Hacton 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Common questions in Hacton
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Hornchurch Country Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Hacton?
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.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Can you bring margaritas?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
