Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Send allergy details in writing
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.

Planning food truck hire around Arkley
Arkley is about 2 miles west of Barnet, in Greater London. From the centre of Arkley to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 764 places across Greater London. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Arkley to London (12 miles away).
Historic houses near Arkley include Wyllyotts Manor (3.7 miles north-east). Historic houses and estates generally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. Parks such as Whitings Hill Open Space typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.

Local streets include Well Road, Glebe Lane and Brett Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Questions from Arkley
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Could you serve in Whitings Hill Open Space?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How much is food truck hire?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What does food truck hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Who books food truck hire in Arkley?
The truck becomes the place guests gather, and the hatch draws people over.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Company away days
- Parties in venue grounds
- End-of-year celebrations
- Wedding receptions
No room on the drive? A hired hall or sports club near Arkley with parking may suit the truck or trailer.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
In Arkley, 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
On the menu in Arkley
- Loaded nachos
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Mexican drinks bar
- Tacos
Should I do it myself?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

How the day works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. At midsummer, it stays light in Arkley until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
