Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

What else we do in Friern Barnet
Perfect for your event in Friern Barnet

If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Christenings and family parties
- Wedding receptions
- End-of-year celebrations
- Anniversary celebrations
When the service is at a church such as St John's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Friern Barnet: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Friern Barnet?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Friary Park?
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’ll send what they need from us.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
