Comparing your options
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Quoted for your event
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

How our food truck hire works in Nursling
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For winter staff parties and garden parties, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch.
Hire our food truck for an event near Nursling and the kitchen comes with it; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

When the service is at a church such as Lord's Hill Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

FAQs for Nursling
Can you serve near the sea around Nursling?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you come to Nursling?
Yes, we do. Nursling is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Enough width and height on the route in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we’re needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
