Food truck hire in South Norwood, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. At christenings and family parties and engagements and anniversaries, we can serve quesadillas, vegan tacos and burrito bowls for your guests.
Around South Norwood, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch, plus your venue’s agreement. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

South Norwood questions
Is parking a problem for events in South Norwood?
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.
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in South Norwood?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking.

Food truck hire in South Norwood: local tips

Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Norwood Junction station is in South Norwood itself. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mark, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.

What affects the price in South Norwood
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What the venue already provides
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- A spot away from neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
In South Norwood, 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.
