About our food truck hire in St Johns
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. At winter staff parties and birthday parties, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like St Johns, the first question for food truck hire is parking. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and some streets may need a parking suspension from the council. Like all of Greater London, St Johns is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. At midsummer, it stays light in St Johns until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Why choose food truck hire in St Johns?
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, not left standing on a buffet.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in St Johns can book us for occasions like:
- End-of-year celebrations
- Family celebrations
- Staff appreciation days
- Garden parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of St John, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

What affects the price in St Johns
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many guests we are serving
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Send allergy details in writing
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm the options in your quote.
