Food truck hire in Old Basing, served fresh
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Old Basing: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. For winter staff parties and birthday parties, we can serve loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
For a place the size of Old Basing, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Food truck hire in Old Basing: local tips
Old Basing is about 3 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. We bring food truck hire to homes, gardens and venues in Old Basing. Old Basing is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover.
Nearby historic houses include The Vyne (3.3 miles north-west). Historic houses and estates generally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking. Parks such as Eastrop Park usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.
Wherever your event is in RG24, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on The Street, London Road and Paulet Place. If your venue is just outside Old Basing, we also cover Lychpit (1 mile west), Mapledurwell (1 mile east), Andwell (1 mile east), Water End (2 miles east) and Chineham (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (3 miles west), Farnborough (12 miles east), Fleet (9 miles east), Aldershot (12 miles east), Alton (9 miles south) and Yateley (10 miles north-east).
A little further out are Festival Place (1.9 miles west) and Basing House (under half a mile west). Open spaces near Old Basing include Farleigh Hill and The Mill Field.
- Nearby schools include The Costello School (1.6 miles west)
- Local pubs include The Crown Public House (less than half a mile west)
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. December events in Old Basing lose the light at about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Let us know the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Share your running order
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check gate widths and any height limits
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- What you’d like on the menu
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
Your questions about food truck hire in Old Basing
Is it possible to have you in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
