Food truck hire in Surrey Quays, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. At weddings and end-of-year parties, we can serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and burritos for your guests.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
London streets around Surrey Quays can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it is dark in Surrey Quays at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Common questions in Surrey Quays
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in Surrey Quays?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Where would you park in Surrey Quays?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
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 for a clear quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
