About our food truck hire in Lower Clapton
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. For winter staff parties and christenings and family parties, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
For a private or work event in Lower Clapton, our truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances, and send a picture if you can. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Lower Clapton
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Millfields Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Which station should guests use for Lower Clapton?
Homerton station, in Lower Clapton itself.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll check the licensing with you.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How we price food truck hire
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Timings and hours
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
- How we drive in and where we can park
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
How it compares
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it is dark in Lower Clapton at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Enough width and height on the route in
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
In Lower Clapton, 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
