Food truck hire for your event in Newington Butts
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. For weddings and family celebrations, we can serve tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Newington Butts, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Newington Butts questions
Which station is closest to Newington Butts?
Elephant & Castle station, in Newington Butts itself.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Metropolitan Tabernacle?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Newington Butts is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
