Food truck hire for Sandy Balls events
How our food truck hire works in Sandy Balls
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. It suits client hospitality and private outdoor parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Sandy Balls, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Sandy Balls: parking, access and venues
Sandy Balls is in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Sandy Balls or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as St Giles, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Sandy Balls is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.

Questions from Sandy Balls
Do you come out to small places like Sandy Balls?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Sandy Balls?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. 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.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Send allergy details in writing
- Agree service times with us
- Let us know who is coeliac
If your timings move, let us know and we will adjust service.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What you get with us
- Menus chosen with you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Allergen-aware menus
- A quote that sets out what’s included

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many guests we are serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A Christmas party in Sandy Balls with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:05pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets
How to get a price
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
