Food truck hire for Lower Upnor events
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. December events in Lower Upnor lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Your questions about food truck hire in Lower Upnor
Is Lower Upnor close to London?
It is about 27 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is it possible to have you in Lower Lines Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater in Lower Upnor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Lower Upnor is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
