Food truck hire near Little Atherfield
How our food truck hire works in Little Atherfield
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. We serve loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas, and it suits leaving dos and retirements and end-of-year celebrations.
Somewhere as small as Little Atherfield, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. 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.

- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
For somewhere as remote as Little Atherfield, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.

Common questions in Little Atherfield
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Little Atherfield?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you come out to small places like Little Atherfield?
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 provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Comparing your options
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. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

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 tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
