Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Food truck hire for your event in Southampton
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. For private outdoor parties and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In a large place like Southampton, venue car parks, courtyards and gardens can all host a hired food truck. We need level, firm ground and a way in, and service is from the hatch. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Southampton: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Rockstone Place Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Southampton: parking, access and venues
Southampton is in England. For food truck hire in Southampton, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cater in 40 places across Southampton, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Parks such as Rockstone Place Park typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. For guests coming by train, St Denys station is in Southampton itself. Southampton is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Southampton is within about 2 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches usually need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
Food truck hire in SO19, SO16, SO15 and SO18 is planned around your venue and access. Local streets include London Road, Marshall Square and Grosvenor Square; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Tell us about coeliac guests
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Tell us what serveware you need and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down.

- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
