About our food truck hire in Hillstreet
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. At retirement parties and client hospitality, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls for your guests.
For a rural spot like Hillstreet, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Hillstreet see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day

Hillstreet is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring food truck hire. We cater right across the region, from Hillstreet to Southampton (about 6 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St Anne's, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Totton station is about 2.3 miles away. With the New Forest National Park within about 6 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.

Hillstreet: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Hillstreet?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Anne's?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check the access. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Expected numbers
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
Food truck hire or something else?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
