How our food truck hire works in South Croydon
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. It suits garden parties and client hospitality, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos.
In a London neighbourhood like South Croydon, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Why choose food truck hire in South Croydon?
Diets are simple to plan for, with gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options from the same hatch.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Client events and product launches
- Retirement parties
- Winter staff parties
- Christenings and family parties
If there’s no space for the truck at home, a hall or club near South Croydon with a car park could host your event.

What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests we are serving
- Serving staff
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Where the event is
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
Your questions about food truck hire in South Croydon
What about parking in South Croydon?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What’s the nearest station to South Croydon for guests?
Sanderstead station, in South Croydon itself.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
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 for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
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 can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Evening events in South Croydon stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, your venue or CR2 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send a quick message through our quote form.

How it compares
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

What we need at the venue
