About our food truck hire in Greengate
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. Popular choices include burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, and it suits back-garden parties and launch events.
In a London neighbourhood like Greengate, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

FAQs for Greengate
Could you serve in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How much does food truck hire cost in Greengate?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. December events in Greengate lose the light at about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

How we price food truck hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us about coeliac guests
Service starts when your timings say.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
For event organisers in Greengate
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
In Greengate, 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it compares
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
