Food truck hire for Townsend events
Food truck hire in Townsend, from our food truck or trailer
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. Popular choices include burritos, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch, and it suits weddings and summer parties at home.
Somewhere as small as Townsend, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

FAQs for Townsend
Is Townsend close to London?
It is about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come out to small places like Townsend?
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 have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cater in Townsend?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Townsend and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Townsend see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Planning the serving area

- Power and water details confirmed in advance

- Seating or standing room near the truck
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Why choose food truck hire in Townsend?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Events in Townsend and across Hampshire
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

Can I do a taco night myself?
