Food truck hire in Southampton: what to expect
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order. Popular choices include quesadillas, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for private outdoor parties and launch events.
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.

Food truck hire in Southampton: local guide
Food truck hire across Southampton covers private parties and work events, from Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park to 4 villages and hamlets. We need access, a level spot and space for guests to queue at the hatch. Around 40 places in Southampton are close to the coast, so we often plan around the wind at coastal events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
Southampton: Around Southampton, historic houses include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.4 miles south) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.5 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. If you’re celebrating after a ceremony at a church like Saint Mary's, our truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot. A Christmas party in Southampton with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
Who books food truck hire?
The truck becomes the place guests gather.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Launch events
- Family reunions
- Engagement parties
- Garden parties
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
How it compares
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily.
What your quote should include
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- How each diet is kept separate
- The venue requirements
- Any travel, parking or access charges
How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Southampton questions
What does food truck hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Southampton.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
