About our food truck hire in Clerkenwell
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. At leaving dos and retirements and anniversary celebrations, we can serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
Hiring a food truck in Clerkenwell starts with where it can park. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How it compares
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
As a London location, Clerkenwell is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
About the menu
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas.
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Send allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Tell us what serveware you need and we’ll confirm the options in your quote.

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we’re needed on site
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
