FAQs for Merton Park
Which station is closest to Merton Park?
South Merton station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Is it possible to have you in Morden Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How our food truck hire works in Merton Park
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, 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 suits garden parties and leaving dos and retirements, with loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos.
Around Merton Park, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch, plus your venue’s agreement. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Count children separately
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Organising a club, school or community event in Merton Park? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
Merton Park is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evening events in Merton Park stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
How to get a price

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
