Quesadillas
Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese, cut into wedges.
Burritos

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
In South Lambeth, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
For event organisers in South Lambeth
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

South Lambeth questions
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in South Lambeth?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will check the licensing with you.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A hired food truck at a summer event in South Lambeth can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare

Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
