How our food truck hire works in Kennington
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits retirement parties and back-garden parties, serving vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
For a private or work event near Kennington, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Common questions in Kennington
How far is Kennington from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Swithun's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
A closer look at the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and a choice of salsas, freshly made.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, a filling, salsa and guacamole.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Evening events in Kennington stay light until about 9:25pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Seating or standing room near the truck
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Planning food truck hire around Kennington
Kennington is about 3 miles south of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Kennington and nearby villages. Kennington is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we can bring food truck hire.
Nearby historic houses include Holywell Manor, Oxford (3.1 miles north) and Garsington Manor (3.7 miles east).

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Agree service times with us
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
