Planning an event in Elmers End?
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Food truck hire in Elmers End, served fresh
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Elmers End, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. On the menu are vegan tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for winter staff parties and summer parties at home.
At a private or office event in Elmers End, guests order at the hatch of our truck or trailer. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A spot away from neighbours
In Elmers End, 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Late-September events in Elmers End see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Your questions about food truck hire in Elmers End
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in Elmers End?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is parking a problem for events in Elmers End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
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.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
