How our food truck hire works in West Barnes
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. We serve burritos, vegan tacos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for wedding evening food and engagement parties.
Around West Barnes, 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. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Agree service times with us
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
FAQs for West Barnes
Could you serve our guests after a service at Holy Cross?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in West Barnes?
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.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
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.
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, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.

Where the truck can go in West Barnes
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Distance from houses and windows
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
As a London location, West Barnes 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we offer in West Barnes
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

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. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it’s dark in West Barnes at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- 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
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
