What else we do in Sandy Down
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
FAQs for Sandy Down
Which station is closest to Sandy Down?
Guests can use Brockenhurst station, about 1.6 miles north of Sandy Down.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.

Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Count children separately
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Share your running order
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.
