DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Food truck hire in Colliers Wood, served fresh
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. It suits leaving parties and staff summer parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
For a private or work event in Colliers Wood, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What food truck hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- What you’d like on the menu
Send us the date, your venue or SW17 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Common questions in Colliers Wood
Where would you park in Colliers Wood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Colliers Wood?
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.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Share your running order
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm what’s possible.

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
As a London location, Colliers Wood is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
