Food truck hire for Cowley events
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
Cowley is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

How our food truck hire works in Cowley
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. For retirement parties and family reunions, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In a London neighbourhood like Cowley, the first question for food truck hire is parking. 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, Cowley is inside the ULEZ.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Late-September events in Cowley see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Common questions in Cowley
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Laurence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Cowley?
The closest is West Drayton station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
