FAQs for Shirley Oaks
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Shirley Oaks?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ashburton Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm, including power and water.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Share your trader requirements, and we will send what you ask for.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Popular with children.
Tacos
Street tacos suit a festival crowd.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Christmas markets in Shirley Oaks trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. 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 serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us what power and water the site has

What we need at the venue

In Shirley Oaks, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
