Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance

- Distance from houses and windows

Your questions about food truck hire in Canning Town
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Canning Town?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Cedd's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
