The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Spitalfields: your questions answered
Where would you park in Spitalfields?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you come to school fairs around Spitalfields?
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 serve alcohol at our event?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
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, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll check availability.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Where the truck can go in Spitalfields
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A level pitch on firm ground
London streets around Spitalfields can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
