About our food truck hire in Dulwich
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits parties in venue grounds and end-of-year parties, serving burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In Dulwich, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. The truck or trailer needs level ground and space for guests to queue, plus your venue’s agreement. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
In Dulwich, 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.

Which station is closest to Dulwich?
The closest is West Dulwich station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Could you serve in Dulwich Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.

That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
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.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road

About the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order, from mild to hot.
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A hired food truck at a summer event in Dulwich 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.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
