Food truck hire near Ibsley
About our food truck hire in Ibsley
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. At wedding receptions and winter staff parties, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
In a small place like Ibsley, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Agree service times with us
- Send allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
Tell us what serveware you need and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
Your questions about food truck hire in Ibsley
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Martins?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We will check access and timings with your venue.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A spot away from neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A Christmas party in Ibsley with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:05pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Menus chosen with you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Service planned around your numbers
Take a look at our prices page or our guide to catering costs.
What affects the price in Ibsley
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both

Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
