Food truck hire near Covent Garden
About our food truck hire in Covent Garden
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. We serve loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, which works well for wedding receptions and private outdoor parties.
Hiring a food truck in Covent Garden 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. Like all of Greater London, Covent Garden is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Covent Garden: your questions answered
Could you serve in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Where would you park in Covent Garden?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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 run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Where the truck can go in Covent Garden
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
