How our food truck hire works in Peaks Hill
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It works well for retirement parties and anniversary celebrations, with burritos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos.
Around Peaks Hill, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A spot away from neighbours
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
London streets around Peaks Hill can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Peaks Hill questions
Is it possible to have you in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mark?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Hiring the truck or trailer normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
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.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

The process

- 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.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
