Food truck hire for your event in Ashlett
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. For engagement parties and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas and more.
In a hamlet or village like Ashlett, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Common questions in Ashlett
Do you come out to small places like Ashlett?

The closest is Hamble station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.

We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
What food truck hire costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

- Expected numbers
