Food truck hire for your event in Coldharbour
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits client events and product launches and staff summer parties, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
Hiring a food truck in Coldharbour starts with where it can park. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can 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, so service starts when you want it.

Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- We cover Coldharbour and the whole of Greater London
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
Take a look at how we price or our guide to catering costs.
What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d park
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Email us any allergies
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm the options in your quote.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
London streets around Coldharbour can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

FAQs for Coldharbour
Is parking a problem for events in Coldharbour?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you come to Coldharbour?
We do. Coldharbour is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much is food truck hire?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Food truck hire in Coldharbour: local tips
Coldharbour is about 2 miles north of Greenwich, in Greater London. Anywhere in E14, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. Coldharbour is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring food truck hire.

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, it stays light in Coldharbour until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and 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.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
