Food truck hire in Afton, served fresh
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, and it’s a good fit for client hospitality and private outdoor parties.
In a rural place like Afton, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order, from mild to hot.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Hiring a food truck in Afton
Afton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Afton to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 125 places in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 18 miles away.
After a service at a church such as St. Agnes' Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Local halls and clubs around Afton can be an option for food truck hire, given vehicle access. With the coast within about 2 miles of Afton, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO40, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Bay Road, Afton Road and Manor Road or the roads around them.

Where the truck can go in Afton
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
For somewhere as remote as Afton, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Have shelter ready in case of rain
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Afton see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
