Planning the serving area
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. December events in West Dulwich lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Share your running order
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm the options in your quote.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in West Dulwich
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Should I do it myself?
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Your questions about food truck hire in West Dulwich
Could you serve in Long Meadow?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Stephen?
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. Send us the reception address.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using 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.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
