How we price food truck hire

- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.

Hiring a food truck in Blackgang
Blackgang is about 6 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. Events in Blackgang are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Blackgang is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring food truck hire. Our nearest city page is Portsmouth, about 18 miles away.
Around Blackgang, historic houses include Wolverton Manor (4.1 miles north-west) and Westcourt Manor (4.3 miles north-west). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. With the sea within about 5 miles, a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission.
Wherever your event is in PO38, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Chale (1 mile north-west), Niton (1 mile east), Puckaster (1 mile south-east), Pyle (1 mile north-west) and Bierley (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Newport (8 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (12 miles north), Sandown (8 miles north-east), Shanklin (6 miles north-east) and Ventnor (4 miles east). Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
A little further out are Blackgang Sawmill Museum (within half a mile west) and Whitecroft Hospital (5.7 miles north). Open spaces near Blackgang include Stenbury Down.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Give us separate numbers for children
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
About the menu
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
Blackgang is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
