By road, Hackney Central is on or near the A107 and A1207, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
This part of Greater London takes in E8, E9 and E2, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Brett Road, Tudor Road and Forest Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

About our food truck hire in Hackney Central
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order. It works well for summer parties at home and weddings, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos.
In a London neighbourhood like Hackney Central, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
London streets around Hackney Central 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.

Mixed diets are easy to plan, since vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices come from the same hatch.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Garden parties
- Birthday parties
- Weddings
- Staff appreciation days
Parks such as Haggerston Park usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.

What food truck hire costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many guests we are serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
- Food, drinks or both
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d park
Send us the date, your venue or E8 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Your questions about food truck hire in Hackney Central
What’s the nearest station to Hackney Central for guests?
London Fields station, in Hackney Central itself.
Could you serve in Haggerston Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
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.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We agree access and timings with the venue.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A hired food truck at a summer event in Hackney Central can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
