Portmore questions
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater at coastal events near Portmore?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Food truck hire in Portmore, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It works well for summer parties at home and end-of-year parties, with tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Portmore, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Flag any coeliac guests
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
Nachos for sharing at the start.

- 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.
