How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. December events in Havant lose the light at about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Name one person we can ask on the day

At company away days and back-garden parties, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a town like Havant, a hired food truck can park on a drive, in a club or hall car park, or at a hired venue. All can work, given a way in and level ground. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
