Food truck hire near East Stratton
The process
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. A Christmas party in East Stratton with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and 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
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or SO21 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

How our food truck hire works in East Stratton
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. We serve burrito bowls, quesadillas and loaded nachos, which works well for back-garden parties and private outdoor parties.
For a rural spot like East Stratton, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Questions from East Stratton
Which station is closest to East Stratton?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you cover East Stratton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and East Stratton is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
