Food truck hire in Shawford, from our food truck or trailer
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we’ll plan around it. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch, which works well for private parties in fields and grounds and birthday parties.
In a small place like Shawford, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Shawford: parking, access and venues
Shawford is about 3 miles south of Winchester, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your event in Shawford, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Shawford is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring food truck hire.
For guests coming by train, Shawford has its own station, Shawford station. Parks such as St. Cross Park generally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.

Shawford: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Shawford?
Shawford station, in Shawford itself.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
How much is food truck hire?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater in Shawford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Shawford is within our area. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A Christmas party in Shawford with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- 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.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
