Events in South Kensington range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Summer events in South Kensington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Where the truck can go in South Kensington
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
In South Kensington, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
On the menu in South Kensington

Comparing your options
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Everything we serve is assembled to order. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

South Kensington: your questions answered
What about parking in South Kensington?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Burton’s Court?
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.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
