Old Ford: your questions answered
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Old Ford?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What about parking in Old Ford?
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.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you have options for kids?
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.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
