Common questions in South Bank
Can you trade at a school fair in South Bank?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Which station is closest to South Bank?
Guests can use London Waterloo station, which is right in South Bank.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
