Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. By late September, it is dark in Blackwall at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

How we price food truck hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you need disposables
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
Comparing your options
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Questions from Blackwall
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Bow Creek Ecology Park?
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 will send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Blackwall?
Canary Wharf station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
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 cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
