About our food truck hire in Rownhams
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. For anniversary celebrations and leaving parties, we can serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
In and around Rownhams, our truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Rownhams see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Food truck hire in Rownhams: local tips
Rownhams is about 3 miles north-east of Totton, in Southampton. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Rownhams and nearby villages. Rownhams is one of 40 places in Southampton where we can bring food truck hire.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. The coast is within about 5 miles of Rownhams, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Rownhams? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Rownhams questions
How far is Rownhams from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Could you come to a seaside event near Rownhams?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Comparing your options
If you want guests to remember the food, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
