Playden: your questions answered
How far is Playden from central London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Playden?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can you park at my house?
Normally, if there is firm, level ground and a way in that is wide and tall enough. Send a picture and we’ll check.
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.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there is space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. December parties in Playden are dark from about 3:50pm, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:15pm.
