Food truck hire for your event in Chinbrook
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. For private parties in fields and grounds and end-of-year celebrations, we can serve tacos from the hatch, burritos and quesadillas and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Chinbrook, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, Chinbrook is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A Christmas party in Chinbrook with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Chinbrook? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Seating or standing room near the truck
In Chinbrook, 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls

How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
