Coulsdon events: pitches and permissions
Coulsdon is about 13 miles south of London, in Greater London. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Coulsdon and the surrounding area. Coulsdon is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 13 miles away.
A fundraiser for a church like St Andrew's Church might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. If your event is in Dollypers Hill, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we will supply what they need from us.
Here we cover the CR5, CR8 and CR3 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Hadleigh Grove, Farthing Way and Dobson Close. You will find Coulsdon on the B276 and B2030, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Close by, we cover events in Woodcote (1 mile north), Old Coulsdon (1 mile south-east), Woodmansterne (1 mile west), Chipstead (1 mile south-west) and Purley (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include London (13 miles north), City of Westminster (14 miles north), Marylebone (14 miles north), Kensington (13 miles north), St Pancras (15 miles north) and Shoreditch (15 miles north).

- Local schools include Coulsdon Sixth Form College (1 mile south-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Pembroke pub (under half a mile north)
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Timings and hours
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Where the truck can go in Coulsdon
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Coulsdon is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
Crew meals are served at set times.

Common questions in Coulsdon
Where would you park in Coulsdon?
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.
Is it possible to have you in Dollypers Hill?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Coulsdon.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Christmas markets in Coulsdon trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
