Food truck hire for South Bank events
South Bank questions
What’s the nearest station to South Bank for guests?
Guests can use London Waterloo station, which is right in South Bank.
We are having a ceremony at St John's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How much does food truck hire cost in South Bank?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How our food truck hire works in South Bank
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. For christenings and family parties and retirement parties, we can serve burrito bowls, quesadillas and loaded nachos and more.
For a private or work event in South Bank, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. By late September, it is dark in South Bank at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.

- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
