Food truck hire near West Town
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Send allergy details in writing
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Tell us how many children are coming
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
About our food truck hire in West Town
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. For summer parties at home and wedding receptions, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a smaller place like West Town, 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Late-September events in West Town see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.

Why choose food truck hire in West Town?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A menu agreed with you
- Catering across Hampshire, including West Town

FAQs for West Town
Which station should guests use for West Town?
Guests can use Fratton station, about 3.8 miles west of West Town.
Could you come to a seaside event near West Town?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
