Your questions about food truck hire in Winchester
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate 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.
Which station should guests use for Winchester?
Guests can use Winchester station, about 0.6 miles north of Winchester.
How much does food truck hire cost in Winchester?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Food truck hire in Winchester, served fresh
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits summer parties at home and staff appreciation days, serving vegan tacos, burritos and burrito bowls.
Winchester has all kinds of spaces where a hired food truck can serve, from venue car parks to big gardens. The truck or trailer needs a clear route in and level ground, and service is from the hatch. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
