How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Planning food truck hire around Barnet
Barnet is in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Barnet or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Barnet is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring food truck hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Barnet to London (about 11 miles away).
Before you plan a private event in Highlands Gardens, ask whoever manages it about vehicles on site. When the service is at a church such as St John's United Reformed Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
For food truck hire in EN5, EN4, N20 and N11, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. We can cater an event on streets such as Station Road, High Street and Sambroke Square. You will find Barnet on the B193 and A1081, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Questions from Barnet
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Barnet?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is it possible to have you in Highlands Gardens?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Barnet see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

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.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
In Barnet, 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
