About our food truck hire in Pentonville
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. For private outdoor parties and wedding evening food, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Pentonville, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, Pentonville is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. At midsummer, it stays light in Pentonville until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Send allergy details in writing
When service ends, we pack away.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.

Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
In Pentonville, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Common questions in Pentonville
What about parking in Pentonville?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What’s the nearest station to Pentonville for guests?
Guests can use Essex Road station, about 0.5 miles north-east of Pentonville.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
