About our food truck hire in Dibden
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For private parties in fields and grounds and launch events, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls for your guests.
For a place the size of Dibden, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- How we drive in and where we can park
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Dibden, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.

Hiring our taco truck near Dibden
Dibden is about 1 mile west of Hythe, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your event in Dibden, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We serve in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Guests leaving a church like Church of All Saints could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. Nearby historic houses include Medieval Merchant's House (2.5 miles north) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.5 miles north). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. With the New Forest National Park within about 4 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Dibden is within about 3 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches generally need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A hired food truck at a summer event in Dibden can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any 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.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Common questions in Dibden
What’s the nearest station to Dibden for guests?
Guests can use Southampton Town Quay station, about 2.2 miles north-east of Dibden.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
How it compares
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours so you can join in. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
