Dalston: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Haggerston Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Dalston?
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.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
