How our food truck hire works in Crofton
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It works well for back-garden parties and weddings, with burritos, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas.
In a London neighbourhood like Crofton, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, Crofton is inside the ULEZ. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

FAQs for Crofton
Is parking a problem for events in Crofton?
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.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Ask us about evening food later on.
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.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
What affects the price in Crofton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, parking and access
- Food, drinks or both
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Your date and when you want service to start
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
