Highbury events: pitches and permissions
Highbury is about 4 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Anywhere in N1, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cater in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Highbury is on or near the A1199, so getting the truck or trailer to your pitch is simple. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Highbury Quadrant Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly.
This part of Greater London takes in N1, N16 and N5, so your event can be anywhere in it. From Prah Road, Dove Road and Lough Road or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. Being close to the A1199, Highbury is simple for us to get to.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Summer events in Highbury have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us a contact for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Highbury: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Highbury?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What’s the nearest station to Highbury for guests?
Canonbury station, in Highbury itself.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will let you know if we are available.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need. We confirm power and water with each booking.
