About our food truck hire in Chingford Hatch
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. At milestone birthdays and launch events, we can serve burrito bowls, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
In a London neighbourhood like Chingford Hatch, 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, Chingford Hatch is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

- Add a dietary question to the invitation

What food truck hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests we are serving
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Why us?
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Menus chosen with you
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

Chingford Hatch questions
Which station should guests use for Chingford Hatch?
Highams Park station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We will talk through licensing first.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
