About our food truck hire in Furzey Lodge
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. At wedding receptions and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Furzey Lodge, 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. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Hiring a food truck in Furzey Lodge
Furzey Lodge is about 5 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire. Events in Furzey Lodge are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Furzey Lodge to Southampton (about 8 miles away).
Close to Furzey Lodge are historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House (1.2 miles east). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. With the New Forest National Park within about 2 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer. The coast is within about 6 miles of Furzey Lodge, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission.

Planning help
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
Running late? Tell us and we’ll adjust service.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
What food truck hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d park
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Allergen information for every dish
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A clear quote
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Furzey Lodge questions
Which station is closest to Furzey Lodge?
Guests can use Beaulieu Road station, about 2.8 miles north-west of Furzey Lodge.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Furzey Lodge?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
