Food truck hire in Wanstead, served fresh
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. For engagement parties and leaving parties, we can serve burritos, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
For a private or work event in Wanstead, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Evening events in Wanstead stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.

- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

What food truck hire costs
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Common questions in Wanstead
Could your truck or trailer park at our home in Wanstead?
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 Valentines Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
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.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A spot away from neighbours
Wanstead is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
