Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. Summer events in Harlesden have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Harlesden questions
Could you serve in Roundwood Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you trade at a school fair in Harlesden?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you come to Harlesden?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Harlesden and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can you bring margaritas?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Comparing your options
A single pizza or burger stall cannot cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why us?
- Service planned around your numbers
- Events in Harlesden and across Greater London
- Menus chosen with you
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Who books Mexican street food in Harlesden?
It handles peak times well, because fillings are cooked ahead.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Outdoor screenings
- Sports club events
- Village fêtes and summer fairs
- County and country shows
A school such as John Keble CofE Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck.

Where the truck can go in Harlesden
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
London streets around Harlesden 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.
