How our food truck hire works in East Peckham
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. It suits retirement parties and parties in venue grounds, with burritos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like East Peckham, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A hired food truck at a summer event in East Peckham can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Crisp chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.

East Peckham questions
Could we book your food truck for a private event in East Peckham?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Tell us when guests should eat
