Food truck hire in Shorthampton, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for company away days and engagement parties, serving burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
Somewhere as small as Shorthampton, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Your questions about food truck hire in Shorthampton
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Shorthampton?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How does food truck hire work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How we price food truck hire
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
