Food truck hire for your event in Crofton Park
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. At leaving dos and retirements and family reunions, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
In Crofton Park, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Your questions about food truck hire in Crofton Park
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Blythe Hill Fields?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Hilda?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How does 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.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How it compares
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made for your event.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- A spot away from neighbours
In Crofton Park, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. By late September, it’s dark in Crofton Park at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
