How it compares
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free visitors. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Upton
Upton is about 1 mile east of Welling, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Upton or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Upton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
Events in parks such as Danson Park need permission from the council or landowner, and we’ll send any documents they ask for from us. For a public event, it helps to tell people that Upton has its own station, Bexleyheath station.
Anywhere in DA6, DA7 and DA16, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Lion Road, Upton Road and Freta Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Upton, we also cover Bexleyheath (1 mile east), Crook Log (1 mile west), Blendon (1 mile south-west), Bexley (1 mile south) and Welling (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles west), City of Westminster (13 miles west), Marylebone (13 miles west), Kensington (15 miles west), St Pancras (12 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (10 miles north-west).
Nearby you will also find Broadway Shopping Centre (0.5 miles south-east) and Colyers (1.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Upton includes Summer Hill and Wansunt Pit.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
Common questions in Upton
Is parking a problem for events in Upton?
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.
Is it possible to have you in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
In Upton, 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 you book.
Occasions we cater for in Upton
It suits outdoor events of all sizes.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Upton, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Sports clubs and race days
- Country shows
- Seasonal and night markets
- Community events and open days
Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Upland Primary School, a busy corner.
Comparing caterers
- The deadline for final numbers
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- The venue requirements
- A food hygiene rating you can check
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Upton loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- 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.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ask the venue about power and water
