Local halls and clubs around Tufnell Park can be an option for food truck hire, given vehicle access. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Benet and All Saints could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready.
For food truck hire in NW5, N19 and N7, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings.

How our food truck hire works in Tufnell Park
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. For end-of-year parties and company away days, we can serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch for your guests.
For a private or work event in Tufnell Park, our truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances, and send a picture if you can. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What affects the price in Tufnell Park
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you need disposables
- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just send a quick message through our quote form.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. At midsummer, it stays light in Tufnell Park 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.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.

What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
Tufnell Park is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Tufnell Park: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Benet and All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in Tufnell Park?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What does food truck hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
