Food truck hire in Andover, served fresh
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. It works well for family reunions and private parties in fields and grounds, serving vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
In Andover, drives and gardens vary a lot, and what matters is access and level ground. A nearby car park can also work, with permission. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
About the menu
Burritos
A large flour tortilla rolled round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck.

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.

That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.

Occasions we cater for in Andover
A food truck gives a private event a focal point.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Back-garden parties
- Big birthdays
- Client events and product launches
- Private parties in fields and grounds
After a service at a church such as Church of St Mary, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone.
Before you book anyone
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Payment terms and deposit
- The venue requirements
- A food hygiene rating you can check
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. At midsummer, it stays light in Andover until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
