How our food truck hire works in Totton
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for end-of-year celebrations and wedding evening food, with vegan tacos, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
Hiring our food truck for a party or work do in Totton means no cooking for you. Guests queue at the hatch and order, so plan space for a line beside the truck. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A hired food truck at a summer event in Totton can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
