Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- A spot away from neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
In Wapping, 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
How it compares
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Wapping? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Wapping: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What about parking in Wapping?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, use our quote form.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
