Common questions in New Charlton
What about parking in New Charlton?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Thames Barrier Park?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with 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.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you come to New Charlton?
We do. New Charlton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send the paperwork your event asks for.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Where the truck can go in New Charlton
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- The event’s site rules and timings
In New Charlton, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Distance and access to the venue
