We cater in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Merton to London (7 miles away).
Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as St John The Divine could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Merton Abbey Primary School, a busy corner.

Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Summer events in Merton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Questions from Merton
Is it possible to have you in Wandle Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What about parking in Merton?
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 run a bar at festivals?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
As a London location, Merton 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.
