Food truck hire in New Barnet, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch, which works well for staff appreciation days and engagement parties.
In a London neighbourhood like New Barnet, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, New Barnet is inside the ULEZ. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

- 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.

- Enough width and height on the route in
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations

Why choose food truck hire in New Barnet?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

FAQs for New Barnet
Could you serve our guests after a service at Holy Trinity Lyonsdown?
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. Send us the reception address.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in New Barnet?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Should I do it myself?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Agree service times with us
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
