Food truck hire in Bow Common, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. At leaving parties and staff appreciation days, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, vegan tacos and loaded nachos and more.
For a private or work event in Bow Common, our truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
In Bow Common, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Bow Common

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.
Bow Common: your questions answered
Could you serve in Bartlett 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.
What’s the nearest station to Bow Common for guests?
Limehouse station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Bow Common see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
