Food truck hire in Alverstoke
Food truck hire for your event in Alverstoke
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. For winter staff parties and client events and product launches, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and quesadillas for your guests.
For a rural spot like Alverstoke, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Questions from Alverstoke

The closest is Portsmouth Harbour station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
How far is Alverstoke from London?
It is about 68 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much is food truck hire?

Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.

Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Enough width and height on the route in
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
