How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. December events in Plumstead lose the light at about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Food truck hire in Plumstead, from our food truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It works well for christenings and family parties and staff appreciation days, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
At a private or office event in Plumstead, guests order at the hatch of our food truck or trailer. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
In Plumstead, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Loaded nachos
- Quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Common questions in Plumstead
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Plumstead?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Where would you park in Plumstead?
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 add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How does food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Agree service times with us
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.

Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
