Food truck hire near Tower Hamlets
Food truck hire in Tower Hamlets, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, and it is a good fit for winter staff parties and leaving parties.
For a place the size of Tower Hamlets, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Agree service times with us
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
About the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste.
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Serving staff
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we are needed on site
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. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- 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.
