How our food truck hire works in Lee
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we’ll plan around it. We serve burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos, which works well for staff summer parties and parties in venue grounds.
In a small place like Lee, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Lee: parking, access and venues
Lee is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO51, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
After a service at a church such as Church of St Boniface, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that the nearest station is Romsey station, about 2.4 miles north. The New Forest National Park is within about 8 miles of Lee, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. With the coast within about 6 miles of Lee, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.

FAQs for Lee
Which station should guests use for Lee?
Guests can use Romsey station, about 2.4 miles north of Lee.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Boniface?
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.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you come to Lee?
Yes, we do. Lee is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Where the truck can go in Lee
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- A spot away from neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burrito bowls
- Quesadillas
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos
- Tacos
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Evening events in Lee stay light until about 9:25pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
