Food truck hire for your event in West Hackney
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. At engagement parties and parties in venue grounds, we can serve loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos and more.
In West Hackney, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Hiring our taco truck near West Hackney
West Hackney is about 4 miles north of London, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of West Hackney or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. West Hackney is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
When the service is at a church such as St Michael and All Angels, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Around West Hackney, historic houses include Sutton House (1.2 miles south-east) and Bruce Castle (2.7 miles north). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit.

How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. December events in West Hackney lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

West Hackney questions
Could you serve in Stoke Newington Common?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to West Hackney for guests?
Rectory Road station, in West Hackney itself.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you cater for special diets?
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 cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Where the truck can go in West Hackney
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
