Common questions in Hackney Wick
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary of Eton: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Our venue in Hackney Wick has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Generally, if the venue agrees to a staffed station. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.

Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

As a London location, Hackney Wick is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
