Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Share your running order
- Tell us about coeliac guests
If your timings move, let us know.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Evening events in Russell Hill stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water

FAQs for Russell Hill
Where would you park in Russell Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Russell Hill?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Perfect for your event in Russell Hill
You do not need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options with the venue’s agreement.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Russell Hill, you could book us for events such as:
- Garden parties
- End-of-year celebrations
- Wedding evening food
- Leaving parties
If there’s no space for the truck at home, a hall or club near Russell Hill with a car park could host your event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- Staff numbers and hours
- Space, access, power and water needs
- Whether travel is included
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What you’d like on the menu
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
How it compares
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. 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. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- A plan agreed before the day
- Menus chosen with you
- Fast service, even with a queue

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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 will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
