Food truck hire in Selsdon, from our truck or trailer
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. It suits back-garden parties and engagements and anniversaries, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
For a place the size of Selsdon, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Email us any allergies
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.

Is it possible to have you in Littleheath Woods?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
We’re having a ceremony at St Francis: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.

A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
