Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Spacing from tents and other structures
As a London location, North End 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Common questions in North End
What’s the nearest station to North End for guests?
Hampstead Heath station, about 1.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Is it possible to have you in Childs Hill 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’ll send what they need from us.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you plan for allergies?
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?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we’ll plan for peak times.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Send traders one clear trader pack
Crew meals are served at set times.
Vegan tacos alongside the rest.
