About our food truck hire in East Barnet
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It works well for back-garden parties and end-of-year parties, with tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Hiring a food truck in East Barnet starts with where it can park. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Distance from houses and windows
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
In East Barnet, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How it compares
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Menus chosen with you
- We cover East Barnet and the whole of Greater London
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- A plan agreed before the day

These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- What’s on the menu
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Count children separately

Running late? Tell us, and we will work around it.

Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
Salsas and guacamole

The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Late-September events in East Barnet see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Questions from East Barnet
What’s the nearest station to East Barnet for guests?
Guests can use Oakleigh Park station, about 0.5 miles north-west of East Barnet.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in East Barnet?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
