How our food truck hire works in Gilbert Street
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we’ll plan around it. On the menu are vegan tacos, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch, which works well for staff appreciation days and weddings.
In a rural place like Gilbert Street, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Food truck hire in Gilbert Street: local tips
Gilbert Street is about 6 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. For an event in Gilbert Street, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Winchester, about 11 miles away.
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Peter could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. Nearby historic houses include Bentworth Hall (4.2 miles north) and Hall Place (4.7 miles north). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site.

Comparing your options
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Evening events in Gilbert Street stay light until about 9:25pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Ask for a quote

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Email us any allergies
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
