Questions from South Kensington
Which station is closest to South Kensington?
Guests can use West Brompton station, about 0.8 miles west of South Kensington.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Chapel of St Luke?
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.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you come to South Kensington?
We do. We serve at events in South Kensington and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Food truck hire in South Kensington, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. Popular choices include vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, and it suits milestone birthdays and parties in venue grounds.
At a private or office event in South Kensington, guests order at the hatch of our truck or trailer. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

South Kensington: parking, access and venues
South Kensington is about 1 mile south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of South Kensington or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London.
With the A3217 nearby, getting our truck or trailer to South Kensington is straightforward. Nearby historic houses include Carlyle's House (0.6 miles south-east) and Garden Lodge, Kensington (0.9 miles west). Historic houses and estates usually have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book.
Anywhere in SW3, SW7 and SW10, we can bring food truck hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include King's Road, Fulham Road and Museum Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. You will find South Kensington on the A3217, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. For events just outside South Kensington, we cover Little Chelsea (1 mile south), Chelsea (1 mile east), Brompton (1 mile north-east), World's End (1 mile south) and Earl's Court (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles east), St Pancras (4 miles north-east), Shoreditch (5 miles north-east), Walthamstow (9 miles north-east), Hoxton (5 miles north-east) and Whitechapel (5 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal Marsden Hospital (within half a mile east) and Victoria and Albert Museum Spiral (within half a mile north). Not far away are Serpentine and Campden Hill.
- Nearby schools include London School of Dramatic Art (within half a mile north) and Collingham College (0.5 miles west)
- Pubs nearby include Anglesea Arms (less than half a mile south)
- Other local spots include Natural History Museum Library and Archives (under half a mile north) and Ladbroke Estate (2 miles north-west)
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
As a London location, South Kensington is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

About the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, for sharing.

Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Planning a private evening event in South Kensington?
