Food truck hire in Custom House
Food truck hire for your event in Custom House
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It suits engagements and anniversaries and staff summer parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In a London neighbourhood like Custom House, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. Like all of Greater London, Custom House is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:

When service ends, we pack away, leaving our spot tidy.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
London streets around Custom House 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.

Common questions in Custom House
Is parking a problem for events in Custom House?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Which station should guests use for Custom House?
Custom House station, in Custom House itself.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We will check access and timings with your venue.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. 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.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
