Food truck hire in Smannell
What’s on the menu
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand and travel well from the hatch.
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste, from mild to hot.
How our food truck hire works in Smannell
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It suits engagements and anniversaries and wedding receptions, with quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos.
Somewhere as small as Smannell, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Smannell: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Smannell?
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.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cover Smannell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Smannell and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: 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 much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. At midsummer, it stays light in Smannell until about 9:25pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.

- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- 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.
