How our food truck hire works in Puddle Dock
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for anniversary celebrations and milestone birthdays, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burritos.
At a private or office event in Puddle Dock, guests order at the hatch of our food truck or trailer. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Puddle Dock questions
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Puddle Dock?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Which station is closest to Puddle Dock?
The closest is Upminster station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check the access. There’s more in our space and power guide.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Where the truck can go in Puddle Dock
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Enough width and height on the route in
In Puddle Dock, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
