In a London neighbourhood like Petts Wood, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, Petts Wood is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Common questions in Petts Wood
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is it possible to have you in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
