Hiring a food truck in Skinner's Hill
Skinner's Hill is about 5 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Skinner's Hill to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Skinner's Hill is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we can bring food truck hire. Our nearest city page is Portsmouth, about 11 miles away.
If you’re celebrating after a ceremony at a church like All Saints' Church, our food truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot. Nearby historic houses include Haseley Manor (1.2 miles west) and Arreton Manor (2.3 miles north-west). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. The coast is within about 3 miles of Skinner's Hill, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission.
Wherever your event is in PO36, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Skinner's Hill and Hill Top or a nearby road, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. Nearby, we also cater events in Queen's Bower (1 mile south-east), Alverstone Garden Village (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile east), Lake (2 miles south-east) and Sandown (2 miles east).

Skinner's Hill: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Skinner's Hill?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Skinner's Hill?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
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. See our food truck wedding guide.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
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. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
What space does the truck need?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
