About our food truck hire in Lissenden Gardens
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. On the menu are burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas, and it suits family celebrations and summer parties at home.
Hiring a food truck in Lissenden Gardens starts with where it can park. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. Like all of Greater London, Lissenden Gardens is inside the ULEZ. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Enough width and height on the route in
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
London streets around Lissenden Gardens 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A hired food truck at a summer event in Lissenden Gardens can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Common questions in Lissenden Gardens
Can you cater a reception after a service at Highgate Road Chapel?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Lissenden Gardens?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- What power and water the site has
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your event in Lissenden Gardens, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
