How our food truck hire works in Thorley Street
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. 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 family celebrations and summer parties at home, serving tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Thorley Street, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm the options in your quote.
Where the truck can go in Thorley Street
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Distance from houses and windows
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
For somewhere as remote as Thorley Street, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we’re serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
To get a price, just fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Thorley Street, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A menu built around your guests

Thorley Street: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Thorley Street?
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.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Thorley Street?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you come to Thorley Street?
Yes, we do. Thorley Street is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Thorley Street: parking, access and venues
Thorley Street is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Thorley Street. We cover 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Thorley Street to Southampton (16 miles away).
After a service at a church such as St. Swithin's Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. The coast is within about 3 miles of Thorley Street, so 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.
Anywhere in PO41, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater an event on streets such as Hill Place Lane and Holmfield Avenue or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Thorley (1 mile west), Wellow (1 mile south-east), Ningwood (1 mile east), Shalcombe (2 miles south-east) and Newbridge (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles east), Ryde (13 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). If your event is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.
Nearby you’ll also find Yarmouth Castle (1.7 miles north-west) and Ferguson Family Museum (2 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Compton Down.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Planning a private evening event in Thorley Street?
