Food truck hire near Blackfield
How our food truck hire works in Blackfield
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. It works well for client events and product launches and leaving dos and retirements, with burritos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
For a place the size of Blackfield, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Food truck hire or something else?
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it’s dark in Blackfield at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Your questions about food truck hire in Blackfield
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater at coastal events near Blackfield?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
