Charing Cross questions
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Charing Cross?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station should guests use for Charing Cross?
Guests can use London Charing Cross station, which is right in Charing Cross.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
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.
How much is food truck hire?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.

Charing Cross: parking, access and venues
Charing Cross is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Charing Cross will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Charing Cross is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
If you are celebrating after a ceremony at a church like St Martin-in-the-Fields, our food truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot. Being close to the A4 and A301 makes Charing Cross an easy run for the truck.
We cover events in every part of the W1F, W1D and W1S postcode area and the streets around it. From Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. Charing Cross sits on or near the A4 and A301, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. If your venue is just outside Charing Cross, we also cover St James's (1 mile west), Adelphi (1 mile north-east), Chinatown (1 mile north-west), West End (1 mile north) and Covent Garden (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west) and Ruislip (13 miles west).

- Local facilities include London Library (less than half a mile west) and Liberty of the Savoy (under half a mile north-east)
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
If your timings move, let us know, and we’ll work around it.
Tell us what serveware you need and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
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. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. December events in Charing Cross lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Find out what power and water are available
Ask for a quote
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.

Where the truck can go in Charing Cross
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
In Charing Cross, 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
How it compares
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
