Food truck hire for your event in Copnor
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. At milestone birthdays and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
For a place the size of Copnor, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Copnor
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burritos

Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. By late September, it’s dark in Copnor at around 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Copnor: your questions answered
How far is Copnor from central London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you come to a seaside event near Copnor?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Hiring the truck or trailer generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Do you cater in Copnor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Copnor. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

The menu, item by item
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order, from mild to hot.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- A clear quote
- A menu built around your guests
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- We cover Copnor and the whole of Portsmouth
