Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Hiring a food truck in New Cross
New Cross is about 3 miles south-east of London, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in New Cross will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We serve in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London.
Hoping to hire a food truck for a gathering in Fordham Park? A catering vehicle in a public park normally needs the landowner’s permission. Guests leaving a church like St James's Church could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready.
This part of Greater London takes in SE8, SE14 and SE4, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Ivy Road, Mona Road and Avon Road or the roads around them. New Cross sits on or near the A2209 and A2210, which makes travel to your event easy. Neighbouring places where we cater events include St Johns (1 mile east), Telegraph Hill (1 mile south-west), Deptford (1 mile north-east), Nunhead (1 mile south-west) and Lewisham (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (3 miles north-west), City of Westminster (6 miles north-west), Marylebone (6 miles north-west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (4 miles north-west).
A little further out are Miller General Hospital (0.6 miles north-east) and Fan Museum (1.2 miles north-east). The countryside around New Cross includes St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.
- Nearby schools include Addey and Stanhope School (under half a mile north-east) and Laban Centre (0.9 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include Wickham Arms (less than half a mile south)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Nunhead (0.9 miles west)
Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- We cover New Cross and the whole of Greater London
- A menu built around your guests

New Cross: your questions answered
Where would you park in New Cross?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St James's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Tell us how many children are coming
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Seating or standing room near the truck
As a London location, New Cross is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Organising for someone else?
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.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. December events in New Cross lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
