Hiring a food truck in Picketts Lock
Picketts Lock is about 1 mile west of Chingford, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Picketts Lock or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Picketts Lock is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as All Saints' Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that the nearest station is Ponders End station, about 1.2 miles north.
We serve at events all over the N9, E4 and N18 postcode area. Local streets include Ardra Road, Goodwin Road and Hennessy Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. With the A1037 close by, Picketts Lock is simple for us to get to for your event.

Food truck hire in Picketts Lock, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. At wedding receptions and company away days, we can serve quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls and more.
At a private or office event in Picketts Lock, guests order at the hatch of our food truck or trailer. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Common questions in Picketts Lock
Where would you park in Picketts Lock?
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.
Which station is closest to Picketts Lock?
Guests can use Ponders End station, about 1.2 miles north of Picketts Lock.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
How does food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Let us know who is coeliac
Running late? Tell us, and we will work around it.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A Christmas party in Picketts Lock with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- 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

- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
As a London location, Picketts Lock is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
