Food truck hire for Coulsdon events
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it’s dark in Coulsdon at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Find out what power and water are available

Food truck hire in Coulsdon, served fresh
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It suits client events and product launches and end-of-year celebrations, with vegan tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a London neighbourhood like Coulsdon, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, Coulsdon is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

FAQs for Coulsdon
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Coulsdon for guests?
Coulsdon South station, in Coulsdon itself.
How much does food truck hire cost in Coulsdon?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Where the truck can go in Coulsdon
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
In Coulsdon, 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Events we cater in Coulsdon
People eat when they’re hungry.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Client events and product launches

After a service at a church such as St Andrew's Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone.

- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- The deposit and payment dates
- Allergen information for each dish
What food truck hire costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Serving staff
- Food, drinks or both
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

- Send allergy details in writing
- Check gate widths and any height limits

Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
