Food truck hire for your event in Lyndhurst
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 will plan around it. It suits wedding receptions and leaving dos and retirements, serving tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
In a smaller place like Lyndhurst, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
The menu, item by item
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Loaded nachos
Crisp chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A hired food truck at a summer event in Lyndhurst can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

Common questions in Lyndhurst
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Our Lady and St Edward?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
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.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
