About our food truck hire in Upminster
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It works well for client hospitality and staff appreciation days, with quesadillas, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
Around Upminster, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. The truck or trailer needs level ground and space for guests to queue, plus your venue’s agreement. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Upminster
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Upminster?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is it possible to have you in St. Andrew's Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How much does food truck hire cost in Upminster?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Check gate widths and any height limits
If your timings move, let us know and we’ll adjust service.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
What food truck hire costs
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What’s on the menu
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
- How we drive in and where we can park
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
In Upminster, 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The menu, item by item
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos made to order at the hatch, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends; dairy-free versions can be planned.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Upminster see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has

How it compares
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- A plan agreed before the day
- Catering across Greater London, including Upminster
