What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, events in Royal Docks stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- 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 serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Should I do it myself?

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Popular choices
