Common questions in Rotherhithe
Which station should guests use for Rotherhithe?
Canada Water station, in Rotherhithe itself.
Do you come to school fairs around Rotherhithe?
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.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need. We confirm power and water with each booking.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share power and water details early
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We set up at the agreed time.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Events in Rotherhithe and across Greater London

Where the truck can go in Rotherhithe
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
- The event’s site rules and timings
In Rotherhithe, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December market in Rotherhithe loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
