Food truck hire for North End events
Food truck hire in North End, served fresh
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For parties in venue grounds and winter staff parties, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, burritos and vegan tacos for your guests.
In and around North End, our truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

North End: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St. Mark’s: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
How far is North End from London?
About 64 miles from central London.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Portsmouth. See all areas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Occasions we cater for in North End
Mixed diets are easy to plan, since vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices come from the same hatch.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Parties in venue grounds
- Family celebrations
- Staff summer parties
A food truck in Alexandra Park would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, it stays light in North End until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- 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.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
