How our food truck hire works in Royal Docks
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. At winter staff parties and client events and product launches, we can serve tacos from the hatch, burritos and vegan tacos and more.
Around Royal Docks, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch, plus your venue’s agreement. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What affects the price in Royal Docks
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your date and when you want service to start
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in Royal Docks at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.

Why choose food truck hire in Royal Docks?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
In Royal Docks, 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Share your running order
- Check gate widths and any height limits
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Why choose food truck hire in Royal Docks?
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, not left standing on a buffet.
