FAQs for Kennington
Where would you park in Kennington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station should guests use for Kennington?
Vauxhall station, in Kennington itself.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
How big an event can you cater?

Is food truck hire good for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What food and drinks do you offer?
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.
Where the truck can go in Kennington
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
In Kennington, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
