Food truck hire in St John's Wood
About our food truck hire in St John's Wood
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. On the menu are quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, and it suits leaving parties and end-of-year parties.
Hiring a food truck in St John's Wood starts with where it can park. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. Like all of Greater London, St John's Wood is inside the ULEZ. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What affects the price in St John's Wood
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we are serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Comparing your options
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

- Menus chosen with you

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Email us any allergies
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Planners, venues and businesses

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Questions from St John's Wood
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Souls?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to St John's Wood for guests?
St John's Wood has its own station: South Hampstead station.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including St John's Wood.
