Food truck hire for your event in Waltham Forest
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For private parties in fields and grounds and leaving dos and retirements, we can serve tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos.
At a private or office event in Waltham Forest, guests order at the hatch of our truck or trailer. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it stays light in Waltham Forest until about 9:20pm, 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.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Organising for someone else?
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 will work to it.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
What’s on the menu
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Share your running order
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.
Food truck hire or something else?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What food truck hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many guests we’re serving
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d park
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Waltham Forest: your questions answered
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Waltham Forest?
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.
What about parking in Waltham Forest?
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 do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
In Waltham Forest, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
