About our food truck hire in East End
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. It works well for company away days and client hospitality, with loaded nachos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like East End, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. December events in East End lose the light at about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Is East End close to London?
It’s about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

What’s on the menu
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and a choice of salsas, freshly made.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What affects the price in East End
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
