Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. Popular choices include burritos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, and it is a good fit for retirement parties and anniversary celebrations.
In a rural place like Charter Alley, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many children are coming
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Hiring our taco truck near Charter Alley
Charter Alley is about 3 miles south of Tadley, in Hampshire. From the centre of Charter Alley to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Central London is about 47 miles from Charter Alley. Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that the nearest station is Bramley (Hants) station, about 3.8 miles east.
This part of Hampshire takes in RG26, so your event can be anywhere in it. From Old Chapel Lane, Sand Martin Close and White Hart Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Ramsdell (1 mile west), West Heath (1 mile north-west), Pamber End (1 mile north-east), Monk Sherborne (1 mile south-east) and Salters Heath (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (4 miles south-east), Fleet (14 miles east), Alton (14 miles south-east), Yateley (14 miles east), Tadley (3 miles north) and Hook (8 miles east).

What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. December events in Charter Alley lose the light at about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start

Your questions about food truck hire in Charter Alley
What’s the nearest station to Charter Alley for guests?
Guests can use Bramley (Hants) station, about 3.8 miles east of Charter Alley.
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What do you need at the venue?
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.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Events we cater in Charter Alley
Every order is cooked and served hot, rather than waiting under foil.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Milestone birthdays
- Client hospitality
- Wedding receptions
- Engagements and anniversaries
When the service is at a church such as Christ Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
