Food truck hire near Ellisfield
How our food truck hire works in Ellisfield
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. At milestone birthdays and private outdoor parties, we can serve tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Ellisfield, 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 plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Count children separately
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.

Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours so you can join in. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Your questions about food truck hire in Ellisfield
Which station should guests use for Ellisfield?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 4.2 miles north of Ellisfield.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St. Martin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might 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.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
