Merton Abbey: your questions answered
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Merton Abbey?
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.
Where would you park in Merton Abbey?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you come to Merton Abbey?
Yes, we do. Merton Abbey is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
In Merton Abbey, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and the route in
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
