DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
London streets around Hornchurch Marshes 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Think about cover if the weather turns
Running late? Tell us and we’ll adjust service.

Your questions about food truck hire in Hornchurch Marshes
Is parking a problem for events in Hornchurch Marshes?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Helen and St Giles?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
How much does food truck hire cost in Hornchurch Marshes?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
How it compares
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. By late September, it’s dark in Hornchurch Marshes at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and 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.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
