Food truck hire for your event in Paddington
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Paddington, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. For private outdoor parties and launch events, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
Around Paddington, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Hiring a food truck in Paddington

Close to Paddington are historic houses such as Winfield House (1 mile north) and Kensington Palace (1.1 miles south-west). Historic houses and estates normally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking.

Your questions about food truck hire in Paddington
Where would you park in Paddington?
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.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Paddington?
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’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.

- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance

- Seating or standing room near the truck
London streets around Paddington 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.
