Food truck hire for Canonbury events
Food truck hire in Canonbury, served fresh
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Canonbury and nearby: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. It works well for end-of-year parties and garden parties, serving loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Hiring a food truck in Canonbury starts with where it can park. 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, Canonbury is inside the ULEZ. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Canonbury
Is it possible to have you in Shoreditch 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’ll send what they need from us.
What about parking in Canonbury?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How much does food truck hire cost in Canonbury?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.

Popular choices
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
- Loaded nachos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Email us any allergies
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Think about cover if the weather turns
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
