New Eltham questions
Is food truck hire possible at a house in New Eltham?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Elmstead Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Where can the truck park?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Can you cater for special diets?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Share your running order
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
Running late? Tell us and we will adjust service.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm what’s possible.

Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it stays light in New Eltham until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
