Food truck hire in East Village, served fresh
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order. For back-garden parties and private outdoor parties, we can serve vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
In a London neighbourhood like East Village, the first question for food truck hire is parking. 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, East Village is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
East Village: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Eleutherius?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in East Village?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cover East Village?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and East Village is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.

How we price food truck hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours

- Where the event is

- Your date and when you want service to start

About the menu
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in East Village at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
