Food truck hire for your event in Lee
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. Popular choices include burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for engagement parties and wedding receptions.
For a private or work event in Lee, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.

Common questions in Lee
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What about parking in Lee?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Let us know who is coeliac
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
Occasions we cater for in Lee

Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- End-of-year parties

Historic houses near Lee include Eltham Palace (1.7 miles east) and Queen's House (2.1 miles north). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. A food truck in Manor House Gardens would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first.

Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. By late September, it is dark in Lee at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or SE12 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
