Food truck hire in Ladywell, from our food truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. At back-garden parties and weddings, we can serve tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Hiring a food truck in Ladywell starts with where it can park. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, Ladywell is inside the ULEZ. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Agree service times with us
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.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

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.
