How our food truck hire works in Fordingbridge
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. On the menu are burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas, which works well for private outdoor parties and birthday parties.
Around Fordingbridge, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. December events in Fordingbridge lose the light at about 4:05pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Common questions in Fordingbridge
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary's Church?
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.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
