Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Allergen information for every dish
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Catering across Greater London, including Elmstead
- Fast service, even with a queue

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

The process
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. At midsummer, it stays light in Elmstead until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or BR7 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Catering for every guest

- Add a dietary question to the invitation

- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Tell us how many children are coming
Running late? Tell us and we’ll adjust service.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.
Your questions about food truck hire in Elmstead
What’s the nearest station to Elmstead for guests?
Elmstead Woods station, in Elmstead itself.
Is it possible to have you in Elmstead Wood?
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 will send what they need from us.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
