Food truck hire in Deptford
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
About our food truck hire in Deptford
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. On the menu are vegan tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for wedding receptions and milestone birthdays.
For a private or work event in Deptford, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances, and send a photo if you can. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Deptford: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Sue Godfrey Nature Park?
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.
Is parking a problem for events in Deptford?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
