How our Mexican street food works in Telegraph Hill
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for feeding crew and volunteers and music and food festivals, with vegan tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In Telegraph Hill, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures normally need council permission, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning for every diet

How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Christmas markets in Telegraph Hill trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Where the truck can go in Telegraph Hill
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
In Telegraph Hill, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
