Food truck hire in Silvertown
Food truck hire in Silvertown, served fresh
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Silvertown: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. It suits family reunions and end-of-year parties, serving quesadillas, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch.
In Silvertown, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. The truck or trailer needs level ground and space for guests to queue. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Common questions in Silvertown
Where would you park in Silvertown?
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 cater a reception after a service at St Barnabas' Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Do you cover Silvertown?
Yes, we do. Silvertown is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
How much does food truck hire cost in Silvertown?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
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 check the licensing with you.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.

Questions to ask before booking
- Staff numbers and hours
- If the price includes VAT
- How late numbers can change
- What the caterer needs from your venue
How it compares
If you want guests to remember the food, a private food truck is a strong option. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we offer in Silvertown
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
London streets around Silvertown can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. By late September, it is dark in Silvertown at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
- How many guests we’re serving
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
- How we drive in and where we can park
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
