About the menu

A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
How our food truck hire works in Lordswood
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for staff appreciation days and launch events, serving burritos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
In a smaller place like Lordswood, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about food truck hire in Lordswood
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Lordswood from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
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 do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
