Food truck hire for Portsmouth events
Food truck hire for your event in Portsmouth
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. For birthday parties and summer parties at home, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
In a large place like Portsmouth, venue car parks, courtyards and gardens can all host a hired food truck. We need level, firm ground and a way in, and guests order at the hatch. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Planning food truck hire around Portsmouth

The A3 and A27 serve Portsmouth, so the drive to your event is a simple one for us. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Fratton station is about 0.9 miles away.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the menu
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste, from mild to hot.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why book with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- Allergen information for every dish
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A clear quote

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it is dark in Portsmouth at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- 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.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in Portsmouth? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Common questions in Portsmouth
How far is Portsmouth from central London?
It’s about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is it possible to have you in Alexandra 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.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
