Food truck hire near Thamesmead
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Events in Thamesmead and across Greater London
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
About the menu
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
Common questions in Thamesmead
Is it possible to have you in Abbey Wood Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What about parking in Thamesmead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A Christmas party in Thamesmead with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

- Enough width and height on the route in
