About our food truck hire in Old Coulsdon
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Old Coulsdon, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. For big birthdays and retirement parties, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Hiring a food truck in Old Coulsdon starts with where it can park. 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, Old Coulsdon is inside the ULEZ. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Email us any allergies
- Give us separate numbers for children
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Popular choices
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos made to order at the hatch, with a choice of fillings agreed with you.
Salsas and guacamole

What affects the price in Old Coulsdon

Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Occasions we cater for in Old Coulsdon
Guests can come back to the hatch when they’re ready, rather than all at once.

What to look for in a quote
- The deposit and payment dates
- How each diet is kept separate
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Staff numbers and hours
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Old Coulsdon see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Old Coulsdon: your questions answered
What about parking in Old Coulsdon?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in Old Coulsdon?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What does food truck hire cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
