Food truck hire in Knowle, from our food truck or trailer

Near Knowle, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. December events in Knowle lose the light at about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Questions from Knowle
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Knowle?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
How far is Knowle from central London?
It is about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you plan for allergies?
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.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Where do you cater?

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Check gate widths and any height limits
Service starts when your timings say.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.

Hiring our taco truck near Knowle
Knowle is about 2 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Knowle and the surrounding area. Knowle is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Knowle to Portsmouth (about 7 miles away).

Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that Fareham station is about 2 miles away. With the sea within about 5 miles, 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.

Can I do a taco night myself?

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Why choose food truck hire in Knowle?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
