How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. By late September, it is dark in Lower Dicker at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- 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 gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Your questions about food truck hire in Lower Dicker
How far is Lower Dicker from central London?
It’s about 45 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel?
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’ll check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Do you come to Lower Dicker?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Lower Dicker is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
