What affects the price in Falconwood
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we’re serving
- What’s on the menu
- Serving staff
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Where the event is
- What you’d like on the menu
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
In Falconwood, 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Falconwood questions
What’s the nearest station to Falconwood for guests?
Welling station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you serve in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
