How our food truck hire works in Stepney
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. It works well for end-of-year parties and family celebrations, serving tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
Around Stepney, 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Stepney: your questions answered
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Stepney?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Which station is closest to Stepney?
Guests can use Whitechapel station, which is right in Stepney.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How much does food truck hire cost in Stepney?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Where do you cater?

Should I do it myself?
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Late-September events in Stepney see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A spot away from neighbours
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
London streets around Stepney 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is food truck hire right for your event?

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
Events we cater in Stepney
It is relaxed for guests and easy for hosts.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Milestone birthdays
- Garden parties
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Winter staff parties
When the service is at a church such as St Peter's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
