Food truck hire in Carisbrooke
Carisbrooke questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's Church?
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’ll check the access.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
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.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Food truck hire in Carisbrooke, from our truck or trailer
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable. At private parties in fields and grounds and launch events, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burritos and vegan tacos for your guests.
For a private or work event near Carisbrooke, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Send allergy details in writing
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
