How our food truck hire works in Beaulieu
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It suits engagements and anniversaries and birthday parties, with burritos, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Beaulieu, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A spot away from neighbours
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls
- Burritos
- Tacos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Loaded nachos

Beaulieu questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child?
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 will check the access.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
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.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Beaulieu.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A hired food truck at a summer event in Beaulieu can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Planning help
Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
