Food truck hire for your event in Mile End
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It works well for client hospitality and staff appreciation days, with loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos.
Hiring a food truck in Mile End starts with where it can park. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.

Hiring our taco truck near Mile End
Mile End is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. We bring food truck hire to gardens, halls and venues around Mile End and the surrounding area. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
When the service is at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. A food truck in Mile End Park would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first.
Food truck hire in E3, E1 and E14 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Streets in the area include Bow Road, Bale Road and Toby Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Mile End sits on or near the A1205, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. For events just outside Mile End, we cover Bow (1 mile north), Bow Common (1 mile south-east), Bromley (1 mile east), Limehouse (1 mile south) and Donnybrook Quarter (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in London (3 miles south-west), City of Westminster (5 miles west), Marylebone (5 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Walthamstow (4 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Westfield Stratford City (1.7 miles north-east) and Tower of London (2.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Old Ford Island and Tower Hill.
- Schools near Mile End include Malmesbury Primary School (within half a mile north) and Central Foundation Girls' School (less than half a mile north-east)
- Nearby, you will find Lord Tredegar Public House (less than half a mile north)
- Other local spots include Holy Trinity (0.7 miles west)
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
London streets around Mile End 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.
FAQs for Mile End
What about parking in Mile End?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Could you serve in Mile End Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. December events in Mile End lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
