Food truck hire in Upton, from our food truck or trailer
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events. It works well for wedding receptions and launch events, serving loaded nachos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Around Upton, 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 serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What food truck hire costs
Contact us for a quote, which reflects:
- The menu you choose
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A hired food truck at a summer event in Upton can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Enough width and height on the route in
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
As a London location, Upton is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
For event organisers in Upton
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Common questions in Upton
Where would you park in Upton?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
