Food truck hire in Battersea, from our truck or trailer
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. It works well for end-of-year celebrations and wedding receptions, with fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
In a London neighbourhood like Battersea, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. Like all of Greater London, Battersea is inside the ULEZ. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Why choose food truck hire in Battersea?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. 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.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. December events in Battersea lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Count children separately
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Where the truck can go in Battersea
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book

Common questions in Battersea
What’s the nearest station to Battersea for guests?
Guests can use Clapham Junction station, which is right in Battersea.
Is it possible to have you in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
