About our food truck hire in Putney
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For big birthdays and staff summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Putney, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A drive, a courtyard or a car park can all work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Where the truck can go in Putney
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
Putney is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
- Serving staff
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Tell us about your event in Putney, and we will put together a menu and price.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Common questions in Putney
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Putney?
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.
Is it possible to have you in Bishops Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
