Food truck hire in Copythorne
Food truck hire in Copythorne, from our food truck or trailer
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Copythorne: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. It suits company away days and end-of-year parties, with quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
In a rural place like Copythorne, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it’s dark in Copythorne at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Wet weather does not close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Copythorne is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring food truck hire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 7 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Copythorne, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.

Copythorne: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Copythorne?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Copythorne?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
