How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A December market in Lower Holloway loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.

- What you’d like on the menu
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
Questions from Lower Holloway
Do you come to school fairs around Lower Holloway?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to St Mary Magdalene Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you bring margaritas?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
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.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Provide seating near the food
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Share vehicle access times with traders
Allergen details are on hand for every dish, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
In Lower Holloway, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
