Common questions in Hackney Wick
What’s the nearest station to Hackney Wick for guests?
Guests can use Hackney Wick station, which is right in Hackney Wick.
Could you serve in Mabley Green?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
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. Read our taco bar guide.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. There is more in our space and power guide.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
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.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Where the truck can go in Hackney Wick
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- A spot away from neighbours
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
In Hackney Wick, 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’ll say what we think.
Why choose food truck hire in Hackney Wick?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
