Food truck hire for your event in Alton
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for wedding evening food and retirement parties, serving vegan tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Food truck hire in a town like Alton can work at a home with a drive, a hall or club, or a hired venue. Any of them can work if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level ground. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
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 to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and time of the event
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Hiring our taco truck near Alton
Alton is about 10 miles south-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Alton or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Alton is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Basingstoke, about 10 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Lawrence, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. From central London, Alton is about 45 miles away, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck.
Food truck hire in GU34 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Station Road and Goswell Square or the roads around them. With the A339 and B3004 close by, Alton is easy for us to reach for your event. If your venue is just outside Alton, we also cover Chawton (1 mile south-west), Holybourne (2 miles north-east), Neatham (2 miles north-east), East Worldham (2 miles south-east) and Golden Pot (2 miles north).

Comparing your options
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

- How long the service runs
- The wet-weather plan
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
