FAQs for North Ockendon
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in North Ockendon?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is parking a problem for events in North Ockendon?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including North Ockendon.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What’s on the menu?
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, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A hired food truck at a summer event in North Ockendon can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The number of people
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Diets and allergies you know about
Send us the date, your venue or RM14 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
