Fairs, fêtes and events in Silvertown
Silvertown is about 1 mile south of Canning Town, in Greater London. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Silvertown and nearby villages. Silvertown is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
A market or festival in Thames Barrier Park would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we will provide our part of the paperwork. A fundraiser for a church like St Barnabas' Church might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.
Anywhere in E16, SE10 and SE7, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Booth Road, Thames Road and Knights Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Silvertown, we cover West Silvertown (1 mile north-west), Custom House (1 mile north), Royal Docks (1 mile north-east), Canning Town (1 mile north) and Limmo Peninsula (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in London (5 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).
A little further out are Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (0.9 miles north) and East Ham (2.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Tower Hill and Gilbert's Pit.
- Local schools include Royal Greenwich Trust School (0.8 miles south-east) and The Royal Docks Community School (0.8 miles north)
- Nearby, you’ll find Anchor & Hope pub (less than half a mile south)

In Silvertown, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets.

Mexican street food or something else?
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we offer in Silvertown
- A plan agreed before the day
- Menus chosen with you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Events in Silvertown and across Greater London
See our prices page or the cost guide.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Late-September events in Silvertown see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Common questions in Silvertown
Is it possible to have you in Thames Barrier 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 will send what they need from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Silvertown?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm, including power and water.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What paperwork do you provide?
Share your trader requirements and we will respond.
