The Burroughs is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from The Burroughs to London (about 8 miles away).
Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that the nearest station is Hendon station, about 0.8 miles south-west. Historic buildings near The Burroughs often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue.
We cover events in every part of the NW4, NW9 and NW11 postcode area. From Bell Lane, Eaton Road and Lodge Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

The Burroughs questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What about parking in The Burroughs?
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.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Give us numbers for children
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
If timings change, tell us and we will adjust.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we’ll set out the options.

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- Details of power and water on site
London streets around The Burroughs can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices

Comparing your options
Running your own bar means checking licensing, stock and staff yourself. We talk through licensing and provide bar staff. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Winter receptions in The Burroughs are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
