What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Christmas markets in Plumstead trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.

Plumstead events: pitches and permissions
Plumstead is about 8 miles east of London, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Plumstead or on the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Plumstead is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
Organisers looking at Plumstead Common as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as St John's Church could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac.

Streets in the area include Moy Lane, Love Lane and Tuam Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Where the truck can go in Plumstead
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Trader information and site rules
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
As a London location, Plumstead is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Common questions in Plumstead
Is parking a problem for events in Plumstead?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you come to school fairs around Plumstead?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not 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.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Share your trader requirements, and we’ll send what you ask for.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
