Food truck hire in Kensington, from our truck or trailer
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. On the menu are burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for family celebrations and retirement parties.
At a private or office event in Kensington, guests order at the hatch of our food truck or trailer. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in, and send a picture if you can. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Your questions about food truck hire in Kensington
What’s the nearest station to Kensington for guests?
Guests can use Kensington Olympia station, which is right in Kensington.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Barnabas?
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.
What does food truck hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How does food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. December events in Kensington lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

What else we do in Kensington
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
London streets around Kensington can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
