How our food truck hire works in Drayton
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For christenings and family parties and leaving dos and retirements, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch for your guests.
For a private or work event near Drayton, our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Food truck hire in Drayton: local tips
Drayton is about 2 miles south of Purbrook, in Portsmouth. Across the PO6 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cater in 19 places across Portsmouth, from the larger towns to small villages.
Guests leaving a church like Drayton Methodist Church could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Cosham station is about 1 mile away. With the sea within about 5 miles, 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 normally need permission.
Wherever your event is in PO6, we can bring food truck hire to you. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Galt Road, Hirst Road and Court Lane or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Drayton, we also cover Farlington (1 mile east), Widley (1 mile north), Cosham (1 mile west), Wymering (1 mile west) and Hilsea (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Portsmouth (3 miles south-west), Southsea (4 miles south), Milton (4 miles south), Landport (3 miles south-west), Baffins (3 miles south) and Rudmore (3 miles south-west).
A little further out are Portchester Castle (3.1 miles west) and World War I Remembrance Centre (1 mile south). Not far away are Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Agree service times with us
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese, cut into wedges.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, a filling, salsa and guacamole, for sharing.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A spot away from neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
