DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
About our food truck hire in Cadnam
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer 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 private outdoor parties and staff appreciation days, with vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
Near Cadnam, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Email us any allergies
Running late? Tell us, and we will work around it.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. By late September, it is dark in Cadnam at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and 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.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.

What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:

- Room for guests to gather at the hatch

Comparing your options
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours so you can join in. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Cadnam: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
What’s the nearest station to Cadnam for guests?
The closest is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We will talk through licensing first.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

Yes, we do. We serve at events in Cadnam and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
