Planning an event in Turnpike Lane?
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it’s dark in Turnpike Lane at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Give us your final numbers and diets
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.

Questions from Turnpike Lane
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John The Baptist (greek Orthodox): can you cater afterwards?
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.
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Turnpike Lane?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you cater for special diets?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.

- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Distance from houses and windows

Turnpike Lane is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Why choose food truck hire in Turnpike Lane?
