About our food truck hire in Temple Bar
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed. We serve tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and burritos, and it is a good fit for family celebrations and retirement parties.
At a private or office event in Temple Bar, guests order at the hatch of our food truck or trailer. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Email us any allergies
If your timings move, let us know.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
Popular choices
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand.
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
Send us the date, your venue or WC2B postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Where the truck can go in Temple Bar
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A spot away from neighbours
In Temple Bar, 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’ll tell you honestly.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. At midsummer, it stays light in Temple Bar until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Temple Bar questions
Which station is closest to Temple Bar?
City Thameslink station, in Temple Bar itself.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Temple Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
