Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, 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.
About our Mexican street food in Shoreditch
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. At hospitality and crew areas and outdoor screenings, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
London street parties and fairs in Shoreditch need careful planning around road closures, access and pitch size. Tell us the pitch details and timings. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- The event’s site rules and timings
As a London location, Shoreditch is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Shoreditch questions
Can you trade at a school fair in Shoreditch?
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.
Which station is closest to Shoreditch?
Guests can use Shoreditch High Street station, which is right in Shoreditch.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What affects the price in Shoreditch
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help

Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Book crew catering in advance
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Give traders a single information pack
We set up at the agreed time.
Nachos for groups.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. For an evening event in Shoreditch, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
