About food truck hire in Portsmouth
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. On the menu are burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for company away days and christenings and family parties.
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event.
- 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.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.

Food truck hire across Portsmouth
In Portsmouth’s towns, plan parking and loading for the truck or trailer; in its villages, tell us about lanes, gates and ground. We’ll confirm where we park and when we arrive. 19 of the places we cover in Portsmouth are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we plan for the wind at seaside events.
Portsmouth: Rail travellers will be glad to hear that the nearest station is Fratton station, about 0.9 miles south. When the service is at a church such as St Wilfrid, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Late-September events in Portsmouth see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Enough width and height on the route in
Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings.
What your quote should include
- Allergen information for each dish
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How bad weather is handled
What food truck hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Your questions about food truck hire in Portsmouth
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
