How our food truck hire works in Waltham Chase
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for leaving parties and summer parties at home.
In a rural place like Waltham Chase, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What affects the price in Waltham Chase
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- How many guests we’re serving
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Diets and allergies you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- We cover Waltham Chase and the whole of Hampshire
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Common questions in Waltham Chase
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Waltham Chase?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Waltham Chase for guests?
Guests can use Botley station, about 2.7 miles south-west of Waltham Chase.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check the access. There is more in our space and power guide.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Late-September events in Waltham Chase see sunset at about 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
