The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Evening events in Gants Hill stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Food truck hire in Gants Hill, from our truck or trailer
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we will plan around it. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, and it’s a good fit for wedding receptions and birthday parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Gants Hill, 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, Gants Hill is inside the ULEZ. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
Questions from Gants Hill
Which station is closest to Gants Hill?
Guests can use Ilford station, about 1.2 miles south of Gants Hill.
Could you serve in Valentines Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How does private food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.

Where the truck can go in Gants Hill
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Distance from houses and windows
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
In Gants Hill, 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.
