Food truck hire in Branstone
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it stays light in Branstone until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- 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.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.

About our food truck hire in Branstone
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It suits leaving parties and private parties in fields and grounds, serving burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch.
Near Branstone, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning food truck hire around Branstone
Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Tell us where your event in Branstone will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Branstone is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring food truck hire. We cater right across the region, from Branstone to Portsmouth (about 12 miles away).
Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that the nearest station is Shanklin station, about 1.9 miles south-east. Around Branstone, historic houses include Haseley Manor (1.2 miles north-west) and Arreton Manor (2.3 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. The coast is within about 3 miles of Branstone, so 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 normally need permission.
Wherever your event is in PO36, we can bring food truck hire to you. Streets in the area include Branstone Farm Lane and Stockmans Close, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Winford (1 mile east), Apse Heath (1 mile south-east), Princelett (1 mile south), Hale Common (1 mile west) and Newchurch (1 mile north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newport (5 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north-east), Cowes (8 miles north-west), Ventnor (4 miles south), East Cowes (8 miles north-west) and Oakfield (5 miles north-east). For an event at a remote venue, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip and the route in for the truck or trailer.

Your questions about food truck hire in Branstone
Will you travel to a small place like Branstone?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Branstone?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How it compares
For food that becomes part of the event, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- A plan agreed before the day
- A menu agreed with you
