Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking.
What affects the price in Whitechapel
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A hired food truck at a summer event in Whitechapel can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send 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.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Hiring a food truck in Whitechapel
Whitechapel is about 2 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Whitechapel or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Whitechapel is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
When the service is at a church such as St Mary Matfelon, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. A food truck in Finsbury Circus would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first.
We serve at events all over the E1, E2 and E1W postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on New Road, Mark Lane and Idol Lane or the roads around them. Main roads around Whitechapel include the A3 and A10, which makes travel to your event easy. For events just outside Whitechapel, we cover Spitalfields (1 mile west), Aldgate (1 mile south-west), Bishopsgate (1 mile west), East End of London (1 mile east) and St George in the East (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover City of Westminster (4 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles west), Kensington (6 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north), Hampstead (5 miles north-west) and Ruislip (15 miles west).

Questions from Whitechapel
Is parking a problem for events in Whitechapel?
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.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Whitechapel?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Occasions we cater for in Whitechapel

Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
In Whitechapel, 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Whitechapel

How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
