Your questions about food truck hire in Sandford
Which station is closest to Sandford?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Sandford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How much is food truck hire?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
About our food truck hire in Sandford
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. On the menu are burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls, which works well for garden parties and wedding receptions.
In a rural place like Sandford, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it’s dark in Sandford at around 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Events we cater in Sandford
Diets are simple to plan for, with vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options from the same hatch.
Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Private parties in fields and grounds
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Garden parties
When the service is at a church such as All Saints' Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why us?
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Service planned around your numbers
