Planning an event in Blackfen?
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
Food truck hire in Blackfen, from our food truck or trailer
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. We serve tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, which works well for milestone birthdays and wedding receptions.
Around Blackfen, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. The truck or trailer needs level ground and space for guests to queue, plus your venue’s agreement. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. December events in Blackfen lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Why choose food truck hire in Blackfen?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we offer in Blackfen
- A menu agreed with you
- Book food, drinks or both
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A clear quote

What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
In Blackfen, 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.

Blackfen questions
Where would you park in Blackfen?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is it possible to have you in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
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 power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
