Questions from New Cross
Is it possible to have you in Fordham 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.
Where would you park in New Cross?
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.
Do you come to New Cross?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including New Cross. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about your event, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
About our Mexican street food in New Cross
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It suits village fêtes and summer fairs and seasonal and night markets, serving burritos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
In New Cross, street events mean planning access, closures and where the truck fits. Tell us the pitch details and timings. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What happens on the day

- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
In New Cross, 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.
