About our food truck hire in Bitterne Manor
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. At company away days and engagements and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burritos for your guests.
For a place the size of Bitterne Manor, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What affects the price in Bitterne Manor
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
- Food, drinks or both
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your menu ideas
- What power and water the site has
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Bitterne Manor questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Denys?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in Bitterne Manor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Bitterne Manor is within our area and the rest of Southampton. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Southampton. Find your area.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
