Planning an event in West Silvertown?
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it stays light in West Silvertown until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

How we price food truck hire
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose food truck hire in West Silvertown?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we offer in West Silvertown
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A menu agreed with you
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
In West Silvertown, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
