Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer

- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.

FAQs for Catford
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Laurence and Community Centre: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Catford?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you cater in Catford?
We do. We serve at events in Catford and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
In Catford, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Give us separate numbers for children
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
