Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A spot away from neighbours
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
London streets around Gidea Park 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 will advise before booking.
Food truck hire in Gidea Park, served fresh
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Gidea Park, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. On the menu are burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for launch events and wedding receptions.
In a London neighbourhood like Gidea Park, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, Gidea Park is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How it compares
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Your questions about food truck hire in Gidea Park
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Raphael 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 will send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
How is the food prepared?
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.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it stays light in Gidea Park until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- 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.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
Getting a price
