Hiring a food truck in Hither Green
Hither Green is about 2 miles south-east of New Cross, in Greater London. Wherever your event is in the SE13 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. Hither Green is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring food truck hire.
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Swithun could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. If there’s no space for the truck at home, a hall or club near Hither Green with a car park could host your event.
This part of Greater London takes in SE13, SE12 and SE6, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Old Road, Manor Lane and Pascoe Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. We also serve at events in Lee (1 mile east), Ladywell (1 mile west), Lewisham (1 mile north-west), Catford (1 mile south-west) and Horn Park (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in London (5 miles north-west), City of Westminster (8 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (6 miles north-west).

Food truck hire for your event in Hither Green
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 private outdoor parties and family celebrations, with quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
Hiring a food truck in Hither Green starts with where it can park. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What else we do in Hither Green
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it stays light in Hither Green until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Hither Green questions
Is parking a problem for events in Hither Green?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Manor House Gardens?
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.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
How we price food truck hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your menu ideas
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
In Hither Green, 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Quoted for your event
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Allergen information for everything we serve
