Food truck hire for your event in Steep
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It suits birthday parties and family celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and tacos from the hatch.
In a small place like Steep, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
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. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Allergen information for every dish
- Catering across Hampshire, including Steep
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Fast service, even with a queue
Steep questions
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Steep?
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 come out to small places like Steep?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

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 has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
