About our food truck hire in Newtown
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. For staff appreciation days and leaving dos and retirements, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Newtown, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
Out-of-the-way places like Newtown take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Newtown
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burrito bowls
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos
- Tacos
- Quesadillas
Catering for every guest
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
Your questions about food truck hire in Newtown
Do you cater in villages like Newtown?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Newtown?
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.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will go through the licensing with you.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Newtown see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start
Ask for a quote
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.

We serve in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Newtown to Southampton (14 miles away).
Historic houses near Newtown include Swainston Manor (1.6 miles south-east) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.7 miles south-east). Historic houses and estates usually have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Newtown is within about 6 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches generally need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
We serve at events all over PO30. For events just outside Newtown, we cover Locksgreen (1 mile east), Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Great Thorness (2 miles north-east), Forest Side (3 miles east) and Rew Street (4 miles north-east).
