Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. December events in Forestdale lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. At midsummer, sunset is around 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.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Planning help
Where the truck can go in Forestdale
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
London streets around Forestdale 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’ll advise.
For event organisers in Forestdale
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Forestdale? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Who books food truck hire in Forestdale?
It is a private hire, so the queue is your guests only and the menu suits them.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Staff summer parties
- Client events and product launches
- Private outdoor parties
- Retirement parties
Around Forestdale, historic houses include Addington Palace (0.9 miles north) and Down House (4 miles east). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit.
What to look for in a quote
- Who provides plates and napkins
- Whether VAT is included
- Payment terms and deposit
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the route in
- Timings and hours
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us

FAQs for Forestdale
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in Forestdale?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Francis?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
