Food truck hire for Ventnor events
Food truck hire in Ventnor, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for back-garden parties and birthday parties, with tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and burritos.
In a smaller place like Ventnor, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Hiring a food truck in Ventnor
Ventnor is about 8 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your event is in the middle of Ventnor or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Portsmouth, about 16 miles away.
If there is no space for the truck at home, a hall or club near Ventnor with a car park could host your event. The A3055 and B3327 serve Ventnor, so the drive to your event is a simple one for us. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Ventnor is within about a mile of the coast. Promenades and beaches typically need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
Wherever your event is in PO38, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your event is on Old Station Road, Market Street and High Street or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. You will find Ventnor on the A3055 and B3327, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Close by, we cover events in Steephill (1 mile south-west), Bonchurch (1 mile east), St Lawrence (1 mile west), Wroxall (2 miles north) and Luccombe Village (2 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newport (8 miles north-west), Ryde (9 miles north), Cowes (12 miles north), Sandown (5 miles north-east), Shanklin (3 miles north-east) and East Cowes (11 miles north). Being one of the Isle of Wight’s larger places, Ventnor has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning. Some remote venues need extra planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
Other landmarks nearby include Longshoremans Museum (under half a mile south) and South Wight (0.5 miles north-east). The countryside around Ventnor includes Alverstone Mead and St Boniface Down.
- Nearby schools include St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy (0.5 miles north-west) and The Island Free School (0.5 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Blenheim pub (less than half a mile east)
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it stays light in Ventnor until about 9:20pm, 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.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets

How it compares
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Ventnor: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Ventnor?
Guests can use Shanklin station, about 3 miles north-east of Ventnor.
Can you serve near the sea around Ventnor?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
For somewhere as remote as Ventnor, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Share your running order
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
