Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include quesadillas, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits fairs and festivals and christenings and family parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Plaistow, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. All of Greater London, Plaistow included, is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plaistow: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Memorial Community Church?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Plaistow for guests?
Guests can use West Ham station, about 0.9 miles west of Plaistow.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.

Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Tell us what other food is being served
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
