Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Food truck hire in West Norwood, from our food truck or trailer
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. At wedding receptions and staff appreciation days, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and loaded nachos for your guests.
Around West Norwood, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. The truck or trailer needs level ground and space for guests to queue. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Distance from houses and windows
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
In West 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar
- Tacos
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

For food truck hire in West Norwood, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. West Norwood is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring food truck hire.
Parks such as Long Meadow normally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. No room on the drive? A hired hall or sports club near West Norwood with parking may suit the truck or trailer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Questions from West Norwood
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in West 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.
Is parking a problem for events in West Norwood?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check the access. There is more in our space and power guide.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer 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’ll go through the licensing with you.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Late-September events in West Norwood see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
