Food truck hire in Old Town, from our truck or trailer
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. We serve tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burritos, and it is a good fit for big birthdays and client events and product launches.
In a London neighbourhood like Old Town, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

- Your choice of food and drinks
- The number of people
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Why choose food truck hire in Old Town?

Old Town questions
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Old Town?
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.
What about parking in Old Town?
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.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What space does the truck need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Hiring a food truck in Old Town
Old Town is about 1 mile north-west of Croydon, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Old Town or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
For guests coming by train, Old Town has its own station, West Croydon station. When the service is at a church such as Croydon Minster, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Anywhere in CR0, CR9 and CR90, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include Park Lane, Fell Road and Abbey Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Old Town, we cover Waddon (1 mile south-west), Broad Green (1 mile north), Beddington (1 mile west), Bandonhill (1 mile south-west) and Russell Hill (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include London (9 miles north), City of Westminster (10 miles north), Marylebone (10 miles north), Kensington (10 miles north-west), St Pancras (11 miles north) and Shoreditch (11 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Centrale Croydon (under half a mile north-east) and Croydon University Hospital (1.2 miles north). The countryside around Old Town includes Roundshaw Downs and Duppas Hill.
- Local schools include St Andrew's CofE School (under half a mile south-west) and Rutherford School (1.4 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Gun Tavern (less than half a mile north-east)
- Other local spots include County Borough of Croydon (under half a mile east)
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Email us any allergies
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it is dark in Old Town at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 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
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
