Where the truck can go in Thames View Estate
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
In Thames View Estate, 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.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Thames View Estate
Is parking a problem for events in Thames View Estate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station should guests use for Thames View Estate?
Guests can use Barking Riverside station, about 0.7 miles south-east of Thames View Estate.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you cater in Thames View Estate?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Thames View Estate is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Christmas markets in Thames View Estate trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
