Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Ark Acton Academy, a busy corner. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of All Saints, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.

Streets in the area include Power Road, Bollo Lane and Pope's Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.

South Acton: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Gunnersbury 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’ll send what they need from us.
What about parking in South Acton?
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.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors, with allergen information for every dish.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Check allergen information is on display
- Provide seating near the food
We keep our pitch tidy and safe.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Spacing from tents and other structures
London streets around South Acton 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How it compares
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Everything we serve is assembled to order. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
