How our food truck hire works in Gosport
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It works well for launch events and wedding receptions, with loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas.
Food truck hire in a town like Gosport can work at a home with a drive, a hall or club, or a hired venue. Any of them can work if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level ground. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. December events in Gosport lose the light at about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Ask the venue about power and water

FAQs for Gosport
We are having a ceremony at St Faith's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could you come to a seaside event near Gosport?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What food and drinks do you offer?
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.
