Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Food truck hire for your event in Paulsgrove
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It suits client events and product launches and end-of-year parties, with tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
For a private or work event near Paulsgrove, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.

Guests leaving a church like St Michael and All Angels could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. By road, Paulsgrove is on or near the M27 and A27, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. With the sea within about 5 miles, a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option.

Paulsgrove questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Alexandra Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Paulsgrove?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you cater in Paulsgrove?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Paulsgrove is within our area and the rest of Portsmouth. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Late-September events in Paulsgrove see sunset at about 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- 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.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
