Food truck hire in Romsey
FAQs for Romsey
What’s the nearest station to Romsey for guests?
Guests can use Romsey station, about 0.5 miles west of Romsey.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Swithun's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How does private food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Romsey.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How our food truck hire works in Romsey
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. At back-garden parties and client events and product launches, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos.
With our truck or trailer hired for your event in Romsey, nobody is stuck in the kitchen. Guests queue at the hatch and order, so plan space for a line beside the truck. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered.

- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
