Food truck hire in Maida Vale, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits birthday parties and weddings, with tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In Maida Vale, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. The truck or trailer needs level ground and space for guests to queue. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Common questions in Maida Vale
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Maida Vale?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. We also need room for guests to queue at the hatch, and the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
We’re having a ceremony at St Peter Elgin Avenue: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Do you come to Maida Vale?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Maida Vale and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What do you need at the venue?
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 we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we are serving
- The menu you choose
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your menu ideas
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

- Who provides plates and napkins
- What the price includes, item by item

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
In Maida Vale, 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.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. December events in Maida Vale lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
