About our food truck hire in Croydon
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. At leaving dos and retirements and weddings, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and tacos from the hatch.
Hiring a food truck in Croydon starts with where it can park. 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, Croydon is inside the ULEZ. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A hired food truck at a summer event in Croydon can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Croydon questions
Where would you park in Croydon?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station is closest to Croydon?
Croydon has its own station: South Croydon station.
How does private food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you cover Croydon?
Yes, we do. Croydon is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Food truck hire in Croydon: local tips

That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Church Road and Ruskin Square or the roads around them.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Agree service times with us
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Count children separately
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
As a London location, Croydon is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
