How our food truck hire works in Colwell
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. For engagement parties and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and vegan tacos and more.
In a hamlet or village like Colwell, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

How the day works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Evening events in Colwell stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

Where the truck can go in Colwell
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Distance from houses and windows
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle

Hiring a food truck in Colwell
Colwell is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Tell us where your event in Colwell will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Colwell is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We cater right across the region, from Colwell to Southampton (about 17 miles away).
After a service at a church such as Christ Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Local halls and clubs around Colwell can be an option for food truck hire, given vehicle access. The coast is within about a mile of Colwell, 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 typically need permission.
Food truck hire in PO40 and PO39 is planned around your venue and access. Local streets include Colwell Chine Road, Heath Lane and Chine Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Totland (1 mile south-west), Freshwater (1 mile south-east), Norton Green (1 mile north-east), Easton (1 mile south-east) and Afton (1 mile south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newport (10 miles east), Cowes (11 miles north-east), East Cowes (12 miles north-east), Barton (11 miles east), Hunny Hill (10 miles east) and Cross Lane (11 miles east). Some remote venues need extra planning, so ask early about your event.
Nearby you’ll also find Yarmouth Castle (2 miles north-east) and Medina (within half a mile south-west). Not far away are Tennyson Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Pubs nearby include Colwell Bay Inn (less than half a mile east)
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Colwell questions
Can you serve near the sea around Colwell?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
