Planning a food truck in E8

Hackney Central: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Gayhurst Community School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Daylight in Hackney Central runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Mention any other caterers or courses
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many staff you need
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

FAQs for E8
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
