Food truck hire near Lower Farringdon
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it stays light in Lower Farringdon until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

- Private outdoor parties

- A clear list of what’s included
- Allergen information for each dish
- Travel and parking costs

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
