Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The menu you choose
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Expected numbers
- Your menu ideas
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Where the truck can go in West Silvertown
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
In West Silvertown, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Plan seating near the food area
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
Questions from West Silvertown
Which station is closest to West Silvertown?
Guests can use Custom House station, about 0.5 miles north of West Silvertown.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Thames Barrier Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Will there be long queues?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in West Silvertown loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
