About our food truck hire in Gospel Oak
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for anniversary celebrations and private parties in fields and grounds.
For a private or work event in Gospel Oak, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances, and send a photo if you can. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Agree service times with us
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
If your timings move, let us know.

Hiring a food truck in Gospel Oak
Gospel Oak is about 1 mile east of Hampstead, in Greater London. Give us the address of your event in Gospel Oak, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. We serve in 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Close to Gospel Oak are historic houses such as Keats House (0.9 miles west) and 2 Willow Road (0.9 miles west). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. When the service is at a church such as Highgate Road Chapel, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
This part of Greater London takes in NW5, NW3 and NW1, so your event can be anywhere in it. We can cater an event on streets such as Rona Road, Dale Road and Regis Road or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Lissenden Gardens (1 mile north), Dartmouth Park (1 mile north-east), Kentish Town (1 mile south), Tufnell Park (1 mile east) and Chalk Farm (1 mile south).

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. By late September, it’s dark in Gospel Oak at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- 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.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Gospel Oak: your questions answered
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Gospel Oak?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
We’re having a ceremony at Highgate Road Chapel: can you cater afterwards?
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.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.

Food truck hire or something else?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
