How our food truck hire works in Rowlands Castle
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable. It suits birthday parties and weddings, serving tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Around Rowlands Castle, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
