Questions from Barking
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in Barking?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What’s the nearest station to Barking for guests?
Barking station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Count children separately
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
Running late? Tell us and we’ll adjust service.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
Occasions we cater for in Barking

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evening events in Barking stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Name one person we can ask on the day
