Food truck hire in Parkhurst, from our food truck or trailer
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. For anniversary celebrations and launch events, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Parkhurst, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Parkhurst
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Seaclose Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Parkhurst?
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.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you cover Parkhurst?
We do. We serve at events in Parkhurst and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
Parkhurst is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know who is coeliac
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Ask us about evening food later on.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
