About our food truck hire in Plashet
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we will plan around it. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, which works well for family reunions and wedding receptions.
In a London neighbourhood like Plashet, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Comparing your options
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Your questions about food truck hire in Plashet
What about parking in Plashet?
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’s the nearest station to Plashet for guests?
Woodgrange Park station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it stays light in Plashet until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- 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.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Tacos from the hatch
Tacos made to order at the hatch, with a choice of fillings agreed with you.
Burritos

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
