Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (1.5 miles east) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.8 miles south).

A private event by the sea is within reach, as Bassett is within about 3 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches generally need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.

From Burgess Road, Pointout Road and Chetwynd Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Timings and hours
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
