Around North Cray, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. Like all of Greater London, North Cray is inside the ULEZ. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Common questions in North Cray
What’s the nearest station to North Cray for guests?
Guests can use Albany Park station, about 0.6 miles north-west of North Cray.
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St James: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cover North Cray?
We do. We serve at events in North Cray and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in North Cray? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
In North Cray, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December event in North Cray will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
