Common questions in Milton
Do you cater at coastal events near Milton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Milton from London?
It’s about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Portsmouth included. Find your area.
What does food truck hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Late-September events in Milton see sunset at about 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available

Hiring a food truck in Milton
Milton is about 1 mile south-east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Whether your event is in the middle of Milton or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 19 towns and villages across Portsmouth, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
After a service at a church such as Church of St James, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Fratton station, about 0.6 miles west. With the coast within about 2 miles of Milton, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
This part of Portsmouth takes in PO4, PO3 and PO1, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Liss Road, Meon Road and Aston Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in Kingston (1 mile north-west), Fratton (1 mile north-west), Southsea (1 mile south-west), Baffins (1 mile north) and Copnor (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Wymering (4 miles north), Paulsgrove (4 miles north), Cosham (3 miles north), Drayton (4 miles north) and Farlington (4 miles north).
A little further out are St. Mary's Hospital (under half a mile north-west) and The Bridge Shopping Centre (0.9 miles west). The countryside around Milton includes Portsdown Hill and Milton Locks.
- Local schools include Mary Rose School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Edmund's Catholic School (1.2 miles west)
- Pubs nearby include The Milton Arms (less than half a mile north-west)
- Other local spots include Southsea (1.7 miles south-west)
What affects the price in Milton
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
- What’s on the menu
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

These details help us quote quickly:
- What you’d like on the menu
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Food truck hire or something else?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
