Food truck hire in Plaistow
Food truck hire in Plaistow, served fresh
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and quesadillas, which works well for staff appreciation days and christenings and family parties.
For a private or work event in Plaistow, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Plaistow questions
Is parking a problem for events in Plaistow?
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.
We are having a ceremony at Memorial Community Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Plaistow.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
About the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Give us separate numbers for children
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
London streets around Plaistow 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
