Food truck hire for Woolwich events
Food truck hire in Woolwich, served fresh

Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
In Woolwich, 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 before booking.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- We cover Woolwich and the whole of Greater London
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests

What else we do in Woolwich
Woolwich: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Woolwich Common?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Granada Cinema?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
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.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Evening events in Woolwich stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- 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.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or SE18 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
