About our food truck hire in Finsbury
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It works well for milestone birthdays and client events and product launches, with burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a private or work event in Finsbury, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Your questions about food truck hire in Finsbury
Could you serve our guests after a service at Jewin Welsh Presbyterian Chapel?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Finsbury?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our 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 provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Food truck hire in Finsbury: local tips
Finsbury is about 2 miles north of London, in Greater London. Anywhere in EC1V, we will come to your venue or site. We cater in 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
After a service at a church such as Jewin Welsh Presbyterian Chapel, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Old Street station is in Finsbury itself.
Here we cover the EC1V, N1 and EC2A postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Oat Lane, Long Lane and Love Lane or the roads around them. With the A1 and A501 close by, Finsbury is simple for us to get to for your event. We also serve at events in St Luke's (1 mile north), Barbican Estate (1 mile south), City of London (1 mile south), Bishopsgate (1 mile south-east) and Shoreditch (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover City of Westminster (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west) and Brompton (4 miles south-west).
Nearby you’ll also find St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics (under half a mile north-east) and County of London (0.5 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Barnsbury Wood and Ludgate Hill.
- Schools near Finsbury include Central Foundation Boys' School (under half a mile north-east) and Charterhouse Square School (less than half a mile south-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Jugged Hare pub (within half a mile south)
- Other local spots include Barts Health Archives (0.5 miles south-west)
For event organisers in Finsbury
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
When service ends, we pack away.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
In Finsbury, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A Christmas party in Finsbury with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Name one person we can ask on the day
