Food truck hire in Farthing Street
Food truck hire in Farthing Street, served fresh
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed. It suits parties in venue grounds and launch events, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burritos.
For a private or work event in Farthing Street, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu ideas
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Send us the date, your venue or BR6 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Share your running order
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Think about cover if the weather turns
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
Farthing Street: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Farthing Street?
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 Farthing Street?
Guests can use Orpington station, about 2.6 miles north-east of Farthing Street.
Do you cater in Farthing Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Farthing Street and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.

Events we cater in Farthing Street
People eat when they’re hungry.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Farthing Street, you could book us for occasions like:
- Garden parties
- Family reunions
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Wedding receptions
When the service is at a church such as St Mary's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- VAT, if it applies
- How late numbers can change
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we offer in Farthing Street
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A plan agreed before the day
- A menu built around your guests
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
London streets around Farthing Street 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, it is dark in Farthing Street at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
