Food truck hire in Addiscombe
How our food truck hire works in Addiscombe
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for client hospitality and private parties in fields and grounds, serving tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a London neighbourhood like Addiscombe, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A Christmas party in Addiscombe with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling.
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste.
Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why book with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Catering across Greater London, including Addiscombe
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A spot away from neighbours
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Enough width and height on the route in
Addiscombe is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Addiscombe: your questions answered
What about parking in Addiscombe?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is it possible to have you in Ashburton 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 will send what they need from us.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Agree service times with us
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
