About our food truck hire in Lockerley
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for wedding receptions and big birthdays, serving loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Lockerley, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it is dark in Lockerley at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Hiring a food truck in Lockerley

How we price food truck hire
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What you’d like on the menu
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it compares
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What you get with us
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
- Catering across Hampshire, including Lockerley
