How our food truck hire works in Kimpton
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. At birthday parties and client events and product launches, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch and more.
For a rural spot like Kimpton, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and rough timings
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer

Kimpton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Kimpton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Kimpton?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Do you cater in Kimpton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kimpton. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
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, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
About the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, a filling, salsa and guacamole, for sharing.

What happens on the day
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A Christmas party in Kimpton with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 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.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

How it compares
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Catering across Hampshire, including Kimpton
- A plan agreed before the day
