Food truck hire in St Mary's: local tips
St Mary's is about 1 mile south of Southampton, in Southampton. Give us the address of your event in St Mary's, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We serve in 40 places in Southampton.
Close to St Mary's are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (0.6 miles south-west) and Medieval Merchant's House (0.6 miles south-west). Historic houses and estates generally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking. When the service is at a church such as St Mary's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. St Mary's is within about 7 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. 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.
Food truck hire in SO14, SO15 and SO18 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. We can cater an event on streets such as New Road, Ogle Road and Marsh Lane or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Northam (1 mile north-east), Inner Avenue (1 mile north), Peartree Green (1 mile east), Southampton (1 mile north) and Bitterne Manor (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Chartwell Green (3 miles north-east), Harefield (3 miles east), Maybush (3 miles north-west), Coxford (3 miles north-west), Lordswood (3 miles north-west) and Eling (4 miles west).
A little further out are Netley Castle (2.5 miles south-east) and Bargate Guildhall Museum (within half a mile south-west). Open spaces near St Mary's include Netley Common.
- Local schools include Inspire Enterprise Academy (less than half a mile south-east) and Woolston School (1.4 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Joiners pub (less than half a mile south)

Common questions in St Mary's
What’s the nearest station to St Mary's for guests?
Southampton Central station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Houndwell 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.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
