A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It suits engagements and anniversaries and launch events, with burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Tell us how many children are coming
If your timings move, let us know, and we will work around it.

Questions from High Barnet
What about parking in High Barnet?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We will check access and timings with your venue.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will check the licensing with you.

For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. At midsummer, it stays light in High Barnet until about 9:20pm, 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.

How it compares
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
London streets around High Barnet 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.
