In Picketts Lock, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Christmas markets in Picketts Lock trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day

Picketts Lock: your questions answered
Could you serve in Pymmes Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Picketts Lock?
Guests can use Ponders End station, about 1.2 miles north of Picketts Lock.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What does Mexican street food cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- The event’s site rules and timings
Picketts Lock is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
