Food truck hire in Hackney Marshes, from our food truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits garden parties and birthday parties, with burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
Around Hackney Marshes, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. The truck or trailer needs level ground and space for guests to queue. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How we price food truck hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- The number of people
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What you’d like on the menu
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
As a London location, Hackney Marshes is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Common questions in Hackney Marshes
Is it possible to have you in Leyton Jubilee 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.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Hackney Marshes?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests.
Can we add drinks?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies with us in writing

Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it is dark in Hackney Marshes at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
