Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Food truck hire in Hampstead, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for back-garden parties and staff appreciation days, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
In Hampstead, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

FAQs for Hampstead
Which station is closest to Hampstead?
Guests can use Finchley Road & Frognal station, which is right in Hampstead.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John-at-Hampstead church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Where can the truck park?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Enough width and height on the route in
In Hampstead, 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. A hired food truck at a summer event in Hampstead can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- 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.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
