Common questions in Waterloo
Do you come to school fairs around Waterloo?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What about parking in Waterloo?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you come to a private house?
That 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 will advise.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
