How our food truck hire works in Viables
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for engagement parties and retirement parties.
In a smaller place like Viables, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Why choose food truck hire in Viables?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Service planned around your numbers
- We cover Viables and the whole of Hampshire
- Allergen information for everything we serve

Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Email us any allergies
- Share your running order
- Flag any coeliac guests
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Questions from Viables
How far is Viables from central London?
It’s about 46 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order.
