Common questions in Arkley
Do you come to school fairs around Arkley?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What’s the nearest station to Arkley for guests?
Guests can use Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 2.1 miles west of Arkley.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Mexican street food or something else?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, a Mexican food truck is a strong choice. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Summer events in Arkley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.

Where the truck can go in Arkley
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
As a London location, Arkley is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
