Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
London streets around Elm Park can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles

- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
Common questions in Elm Park
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Nicholas Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Elm Park?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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?
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Why choose food truck hire in Elm Park?
For food that becomes part of the event, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Elm Park: parking, access and venues
Elm Park is about 2 miles south of Romford, in Greater London. Give us the address of your event in Elm Park, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Elm Park to London (13 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like St Nicholas Church could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. Parks such as Harrow Lodge Park usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.
We cover events in every part of the RM12 and RM13 postcode area. Local streets include Park Lane, Wood Lane and Carfax Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Nearby, we also cater events in South Hornchurch (1 mile south-west), Rush Green (2 miles north-west), Dagenham (2 miles west), Romford (2 miles north) and Rainham (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover London (13 miles west), City of Westminster (15 miles west), Marylebone (15 miles west), St Pancras (14 miles west), Shoreditch (12 miles west) and Walthamstow (10 miles west).

- Schools near Elm Park include Abbs Cross Academy and Arts College (0.5 miles north-east)
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and a choice of salsas, freshly made.
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A Christmas party in Elm Park with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
