- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Northdown questions
We’re having a ceremony at St Philip: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How far is Northdown from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it.
What does food truck hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What affects the price in Northdown
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we’re serving
- The length of service
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Where the truck can go in Northdown
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
