Near New Forest, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. December events in New Forest lose the light at about 4:05pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

New Forest: your questions answered
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like New Forest?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How does food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
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’s on the menu
Burritos
A large flour tortilla rolled round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.
