Carshalton is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Food truck hire in Carshalton, served fresh
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It works well for anniversary celebrations and leaving parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and burrito bowls.
Hiring a food truck in Carshalton starts with where it can park. 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu ideas
- How we drive in and where we can park
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
