About our food truck hire in Plaistow

In a London neighbourhood like Plaistow, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. Like all of Greater London, Plaistow is inside the ULEZ.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A Christmas party in Plaistow with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Find out what power and water are available
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Where the truck can go in Plaistow

- Enough width and height on the route in
- A spot away from neighbours
- Seating or standing room near the truck

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
