South Hayling: parking, access and venues
South Hayling is about 5 miles east of Portsmouth, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO11, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. South Hayling is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring food truck hire.
Guests leaving a church like St Mary's Church could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. Historic houses near South Hayling include Warblington Castle (3.9 miles north). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. With the sea within about a mile, 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 normally need permission.
Anywhere in PO11, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Church Road, Station Road and St Leonard's Avenue; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Food truck hire in South Hayling, from our truck or trailer
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are vegan tacos, burrito bowls and burritos, and it suits milestone birthdays and end-of-year celebrations.
For a place the size of South Hayling, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

FAQs for South Hayling
Do you cater at coastal events near South Hayling?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is South Hayling close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
What access 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. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Why choose food truck hire in South Hayling?
For food that becomes part of the event, a private food truck is a strong option in South Hayling. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
