Food truck hire in Rainham: local tips
Rainham is about 4 miles south of Romford, in Greater London. For food truck hire in Rainham, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Rainham is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring food truck hire. We cater right across the region, from Rainham to London (13 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Helen and St Giles, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. For guests coming by train, Rainham has its own station, Rainham (Essex) station.

Questions from Rainham
Which station is closest to Rainham?
Rainham (Essex) station, in Rainham itself.
Where would you park in Rainham?
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.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
How we price food truck hire
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The menu you choose
