Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evening events in Cricklewood stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Find out what power and water are available
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Why choose food truck hire in Cricklewood?
Guests can come back to the hatch when they’re ready, rather than all at once.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Wedding evening food
- Family celebrations
- Summer parties at home
- Anniversary celebrations
If there is no space for the truck at home, a hall or club near Cricklewood with a car park could host your event.
What your quote should include
- Space, access, power and water needs
- The deadline for final numbers
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- When payment is due
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Enough width and height on the route in
As a London location, Cricklewood is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Common questions in Cricklewood
Could you serve in Gladstone Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Gabriel's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. 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.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
