Food truck hire for Smithfield events
About our food truck hire in Smithfield
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At milestone birthdays and family reunions, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and vegan tacos for your guests.
Around Smithfield, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

FAQs for Smithfield
Could you serve in Postman's Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Smithfield?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we do not sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Who books food truck hire in Smithfield?
The truck becomes the place guests gather, and the hatch draws people over.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Smithfield, you could book us for events such as:

Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A spot away from neighbours
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
In Smithfield, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What affects the price in Smithfield
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Parking and the route in
- How long we are needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Share your running order
- Let us know who is coeliac
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm the options in your quote.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. December events in Smithfield lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
