Food truck hire in Hound
Food truck hire in Hound, served fresh
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and burritos, which works well for birthday parties and family reunions.
Somewhere as small as Hound, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
The menu, item by item

Your questions about food truck hire in Hound
Do you cater in villages like Hound?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Hound?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How much is food truck hire?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Hound: parking, access and venues
Hound is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Across the SO31 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Hoping to hire a food truck for a gathering in Westwood Woodland Park? A catering vehicle in a public park typically needs the landowner’s permission. Close to Hound are historic houses such as Medieval Merchant's House (3.4 miles north-west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.5 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. With the New Forest National Park within about 7 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 2 miles of Hound, 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.
For food truck hire in SO31, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Hound Road, Hound Road Gardens and Hound Close, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover events in Butlocks Heath (1 mile north), Netley (1 mile north-west), Hamble-le-Rice (1 mile south-east), Old Netley (1 mile north-east) and Bursledon (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Winchester (13 miles north), Gosport (9 miles south-east), Havant (15 miles east), Eastleigh (6 miles north), Fareham (6 miles east) and Horndean (14 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum (2.2 miles north-east) and Netley Castle (1 mile west). Open spaces near Hound include Mercury Marshes.
- Local schools include Netley Abbey Infant School (0.7 miles north-west) and Grove Park Business and Enterprise College (1.3 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include Prince Consort Public House (0.7 miles west)

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
