Food truck hire in Hackney, served fresh
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 and we will plan around it. It works well for winter staff parties and engagements and anniversaries, serving vegan tacos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Around Hackney, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch, plus your venue’s agreement. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Distance from houses and windows
- Seating or standing room near the truck
London streets around Hackney 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Step by step
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. By late September, it is dark in Hackney at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Questions from Hackney
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Luke: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Hackney?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you cover Hackney?
We do. Hackney is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
