How our food truck hire works in Clapham
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It works well for private outdoor parties and anniversary celebrations, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Hiring a food truck in Clapham starts with where it can park. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
In Clapham, 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.
Your questions about food truck hire in Clapham
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Clapham?
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.
We’re having a ceremony at St Paul's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How much does food truck hire cost in Clapham?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
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.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
To get a price, just fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Clapham, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. By late September, it’s dark in Clapham at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Ask for a quote
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
For food that becomes part of the event, a private food truck is a strong option. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
