FAQs for Coldharbour
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in Coldharbour?
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.
What about parking in Coldharbour?
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.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater in Coldharbour?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Coldharbour and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
