Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
London streets around Maypole 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

How our food truck hire works in Maypole
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. For back-garden parties and christenings and family parties, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
At a private or office event in Maypole, guests order at the hatch of our food truck or trailer. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Common questions in Maypole
Could you serve our guests after a service at Mission Chapel?
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.
Could you serve in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Who books food truck hire in Maypole?
You do not need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Weddings
- Client hospitality
- Milestone birthdays
- End-of-year celebrations
When the service is at a church such as Mission Chapel, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Before booking anyone
- Who provides plates and napkins
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- The deposit and payment dates
- Allergen information for each dish
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A Christmas party in Maypole with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Comparing your options
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
