Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Events in Goodmayes and across Greater London
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Email us any allergies
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Tell us how many children are coming
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
In Goodmayes, 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
FAQs for Goodmayes
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 Goodmayes?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours

- Whether you add a drinks bar or food

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
