Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in Surrey Canal? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it is dark in Surrey Canal at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

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.

Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Provide seating near the food
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Ask about peak-time capacity
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
