Highgate: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Highgate?
Guests can use Upper Holloway station, about 0.9 miles south-east of Highgate.
Could you serve in Whittington Park?
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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you come to a private house?
That 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’ll talk it through.
How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Should I do it 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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Email us any allergies
- Count children separately
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
Food truck hire in Highgate: local tips
Highgate is about 2 miles north-east of Hampstead, in Greater London. We bring food truck hire to homes, gardens and venues in Highgate and the surrounding area. We cover 764 places across Greater London.

Streets in the area include Wood Lane, Grange Road and Talbot Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
In Highgate, 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’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Highgate
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls
- Loaded nachos
- Tacos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burritos
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
