Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Sprat's Down?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you do margaritas?

How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. 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 simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
