Food truck hire for Selborne events
Food truck hire in Selborne, from our food truck or trailer
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. It suits staff appreciation days and summer parties at home, serving burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
Near Selborne, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Seating or standing room near the truck

A closer look at the menu
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas.
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made for your event.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What food truck hire costs
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Parking and the route in
- What’s on the menu
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
