Food truck hire in Shepherd's Bush, served fresh

In a London neighbourhood like Shepherd's Bush, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. Like all of Greater London, Shepherd's Bush is inside the ULEZ. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Tell us how many children are coming
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.

Hiring a food truck in Shepherd's Bush
Shepherd's Bush is about 1 mile west of Kensington, in Greater London. Wherever your event is in the W12 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. Shepherd's Bush is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
After a service at a church such as Shepherd's Bush Tabernacle, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. If there is no space for the truck at home, a hall or club near Shepherd's Bush with a car park could host your event.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
As a London location, Shepherd's Bush is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Service planned around your numbers

Shepherd's Bush questions
Where would you park in Shepherd's Bush?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can we hire your food truck for an event at home in Shepherd's Bush?
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.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer 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 check the licensing with you.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much is food truck hire?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. At midsummer, it stays light in Shepherd's Bush until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Ask the venue about power and water
