Why book with us

For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
What food truck hire costs
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Whether you need disposables
- Parking and the route in
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Your menu ideas
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Common questions in Childs Hill
Could you serve in Childs Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Childs Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Planning a private evening event in Childs Hill? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Agree service times with us
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
Service starts when your timings say.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
In Childs Hill, 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.
