Working with your venue

Food truck hire in Stone, from our food 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’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits parties in venue grounds and staff appreciation days, with tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Stone, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Menus chosen with you
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Stone is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve.

Common questions in Stone
Do you cater in villages like Stone?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater at coastal events near Stone?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How does food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Count children separately
Service starts when your timings say.
Ask us about evening food later on.

How the day works
