Food truck hire in Shoreditch, from our truck or trailer
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. We serve tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, and it suits end-of-year parties and parties in venue grounds.
Around Shoreditch, 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A spot away from neighbours
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
In Shoreditch, 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.
Common questions in Shoreditch
Where would you park in Shoreditch?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Shoreditch for guests?
Guests can use Shoreditch High Street station, which is right in Shoreditch.
How much is food truck hire?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What does food truck hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Why choose food truck hire in Shoreditch?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

How we price food truck hire
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- What you’d like on the menu
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Agree service times with us
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
