Food truck hire for your event in Whippingham
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At company away days and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burritos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Whippingham, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What you get with us
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Events in Whippingham and across the Isle of Wight
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- A plan agreed before the day

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
If your timings move, let us know, and we will work around it.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
What affects the price in Whippingham
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

Whippingham: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Whippingham?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Mildred's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Can you come to a private house?
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, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Do you cater in Whippingham?
We do. We serve at events in Whippingham and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. December events in Whippingham lose the light at about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
