Questions from Newington
How far is Newington from central London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will let you know if we are available.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Summer events in Newington have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Share the running order, including any speeches
