Food truck hire for your event in Penton Mewsey
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat. It suits end-of-year parties and leaving dos and retirements, serving tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Penton Mewsey, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Questions from Penton Mewsey
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Penton Mewsey?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Comparing your options
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule.

- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
