About our food truck hire in Hornchurch
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It suits christenings and family parties and wedding evening food, with tacos from the hatch, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a private or work event in Hornchurch, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in, and send a photo if you can. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Your questions about food truck hire in Hornchurch
Is it possible to have you in St. Andrew's Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Saint George's Church: 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.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Agree service times with us
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Nachos for sharing at the start.

Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Distance from houses and windows
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
As a London location, Hornchurch is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it stays light in Hornchurch until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, 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.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
