How our food truck hire works in Cosham
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for anniversary celebrations and leaving dos and retirements, serving burritos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
Around Cosham, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Cosham questions
Is Cosham close to London?
It is about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you come to a seaside event near Cosham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
A closer look at the menu
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Email us any allergies
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- What’s on the menu
- What the venue already provides
- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

- The date and time of the event

- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
