In a hamlet or village like Ellingham, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden.

FAQs for Ellingham
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary and All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much does food truck hire cost in Ellingham?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. There’s more in our space and power guide.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
