How our food truck hire works in Dunsbury
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. It suits retirement parties and company away days, with quesadillas, vegan tacos and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Dunsbury, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Dunsbury: parking, access and venues
Dunsbury is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your event is in the PO30 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cater in 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 18 miles away.
After a service at a church such as St. Mary's Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Dunsbury is within about 4 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches normally need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
Wherever your event is in PO30, we can bring food truck hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Nearby, we also cater events in Brook (1 mile south), Hulverstone (1 mile south-east), Brookgreen (1 mile south-east), Shalcombe (1 mile north-east) and Chilton Green (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (12 miles east). If your event is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.

Close to Dunsbury are historic houses such as Mottistone Manor (1.2 miles east) and Swainston Manor (4 miles north-east). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking.

Dunsbury: your questions answered
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Dunsbury?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in villages like Dunsbury?
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.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.

Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
- The menu you choose
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. By late September, it’s dark in Dunsbury at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
