Food truck hire for Aldgate events
About our food truck hire in Aldgate
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for wedding evening food and client hospitality, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In Aldgate, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. The truck or trailer needs level ground and space for guests to queue. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Aldgate questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St James Duke's Place?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of people
- How long we are needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
