- Access, space and power checked in advance

Where the truck can go in Heron Quays
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- A spot away from neighbours
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
In Heron Quays, 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A hired food truck at a summer event in Heron Quays can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Heron Quays: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Sir John McDougall Gardens?
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 your truck or trailer park at our home in Heron Quays?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
