Planning an event in Plaistow?
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Trader information and site rules
- Flat, firm ground
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
As a London location, Plaistow is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How our Mexican street food works in Plaistow
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. We serve vegan tacos, burritos and tacos, and it is a good fit for summer fairs and fêtes and fundraisers and fêtes.
In Plaistow, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What’s on the menu
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many staff you need
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
