Hiring a food truck in Dagenham starts with where it can park. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, Dagenham is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Food truck hire in Dagenham: local tips
Dagenham is about 3 miles south of Romford, in Greater London. Anywhere in RM10, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Dagenham is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We cater right across the region, from Dagenham to London (11 miles away).
Close to Dagenham are historic houses such as Rainham Hall (2 miles south-east) and Eastbury Manor House (2.7 miles west). Historic houses and estates normally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. After a service at a church such as St. Peter and St. Paul, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone.
For food truck hire in RM10, RM9, RM13 and RM7, we plan around your venue and the route in. We can cater an event on streets such as Exeter Road, Plumtree Close and Rodwell Place. Being close to the B178, Dagenham is easy for us to reach.

Dagenham: your questions answered
Could you serve in Beam Valley Country 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 your truck or trailer park at our home in Dagenham?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. There’s more in our space and power guide.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can we add drinks?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
What food truck hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Timings and hours
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Distance from houses and windows
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
As a London location, Dagenham 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Dagenham
- Burrito bowls
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible.
Food truck hire or something else?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A hired food truck at a summer event in Dagenham can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
