Food truck hire in Blackfriars, served fresh
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. At leaving parties and private outdoor parties, we will put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
In a London neighbourhood like Blackfriars, 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, Blackfriars is inside the ULEZ. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What else we do in Blackfriars
Questions from Blackfriars
Which station should guests use for Blackfriars?
Guests can use London Blackfriars station, which is right in Blackfriars.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Ann Blackfriars?
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.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Why choose food truck hire in Blackfriars?
If you want guests to remember the food, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering in Blackfriars. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
