Food truck hire near Barnsbury
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A hired food truck at a summer event in Barnsbury can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Find out what power and water are available

Food truck hire for your event in Barnsbury
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. For back-garden parties and private parties in fields and grounds, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Barnsbury, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

How it compares
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Barnsbury questions
What about parking in Barnsbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Former Church of St Clement?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.

Where the truck can go in Barnsbury
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
In Barnsbury, 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Mexican drinks bar

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
