Food truck hire in Norleywood
Questions from Norleywood
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you come to events 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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Food truck hire in Norleywood, from our truck or trailer
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. For family reunions and back-garden parties, we can serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch for your guests.
In a rural place like Norleywood, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Evening events in Norleywood stay light until about 9:25pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- 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.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day

- Name one person we can ask on the day

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Other catering in Norleywood
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Count children separately
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Planning food truck hire around Norleywood
Norleywood is about 3 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Norleywood or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. We cater right across the region, from Norleywood to Southampton (11 miles away).
Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Lymington Pier station is about 2 miles away. Around Norleywood, historic houses include Beaulieu Palace House (3.5 miles north-east). Historic houses and estates usually have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. The New Forest National Park is within about 4 miles of Norleywood, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. With the coast within about 3 miles of Norleywood, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
For food truck hire in SO41, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Streets in the area include Norleywood Road, Joys Lane and Thatchers Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in East End (1 mile south-east), Thorns Beach (3 miles east), Hamstead (5 miles south-east), Bouldnor (5 miles south) and Yarmouth (5 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Gosport (15 miles east), Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Fareham (14 miles east), Totton (10 miles north), Chandler's Ford (15 miles north) and Hedge End (13 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.4 miles south-west) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Boldre Foreshore.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether you need disposables
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
- The address or venue name
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- A spot away from neighbours
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
