Food truck hire for your event in Plaistow
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. For milestone birthdays and end-of-year celebrations, we will put together a menu of burritos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Plaistow, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Agree service times with us
- Count children separately
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A Christmas party in Plaistow with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Many venues have rules for 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.

Common questions in Plaistow
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Plaistow?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

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 will check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
