Your questions about food truck hire in Bashley
Do you cater in villages like Bashley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What you get with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A menu built around your guests
- Allergen-aware menus
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

Hiring our taco truck near Bashley
Bashley is in Hampshire. Events in Bashley are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Bashley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring food truck hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Bashley to Southampton (15 miles away).
Rail travellers will be glad to hear that the nearest station is New Milton station, about 1.3 miles south. When the service is at a church such as St John, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Bashley is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. With the coast within about 6 miles of Bashley, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
This part of Hampshire takes in BH25, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include St Johns Road, Ossemsley South Drive and Bashley Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Ossemsley (1 mile north-west), Wootton (1 mile north-west), Ashley (1 mile south-east), Tiptoe (1 mile east) and Mead End (1 mile north-east).

Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Email us any allergies
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
