How our food truck hire works in Richmond upon Thames
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. We serve loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, and it suits wedding evening food and leaving dos and retirements.
Hiring a food truck in Richmond upon Thames starts with where it can park. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

What food truck hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- What power and water the site has
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
Planning food truck hire around Richmond upon Thames
Richmond upon Thames is about 3 miles south of Ealing, in Greater London. Events in Richmond upon Thames are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. We cater right across the region, from Richmond upon Thames to London (about 9 miles away).
Around Richmond upon Thames, historic houses include Pembroke Lodge (1.3 miles south) and Syon House (1.3 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. When the service is at a church such as Holy Trinity Richmond, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Here we cover the TW9, TW10, SW14 and TW1 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Your event could be at a home on Church Road, King George Square and Topiary Square.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Richmond upon Thames questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Richmond?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Richmond upon Thames?
It depends on the space: a drive, a courtyard or a parking bay suspended by the council can all work. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
About the menu
Quesadillas
Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese, cut into wedges.
Burritos

Comparing your options
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
