Food truck hire for Mottingham events
Planning food truck hire around Mottingham
Mottingham is about 1 mile south-west of Eltham, in Greater London. For food truck hire in Mottingham, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cover 764 places in Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
Around Mottingham, historic houses include Eltham Palace (1.1 miles north-east) and Bromley Palace (2.2 miles south). Historic houses and estates normally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. Parks such as Chinbrook Meadows usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.
Food truck hire in SE9, SE12 and BR1 is planned around your venue and access and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Horley Road, Dorset Road and Albert Road.

What else we do in Mottingham
The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order.
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Planning a private evening event in Mottingham? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- 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.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

Mottingham: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Chinbrook Meadows?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Mottingham?
The closest is Grove Park station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might 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 cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
For event organisers in Mottingham
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
