How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Lewisham see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 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.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Food truck hire for your event in Lewisham
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for private outdoor parties and back-garden parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
For a private or work event in Lewisham, 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’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Lewisham: your questions answered
Could you serve in Ladywell Fields?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Stephen's Church?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
How much does food truck hire cost in Lewisham?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
