Harlington questions
What about parking in Harlington?
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.
Could you serve in Lake Farm Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Email us any allergies
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Share your running order
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Why choose food truck hire in Harlington?
Every order is cooked and served hot, rather than waiting under foil.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Christenings and family parties
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Anniversary celebrations
- Private parties in fields and grounds
Close to Harlington are historic houses such as Osterley House (3.6 miles east) and Northolt Manor (5 miles north-east). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking.
What your quote should include
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- The deposit and payment dates
- Whether travel is included
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Where the truck can go in Harlington
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A spot away from neighbours
In Harlington, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
