We work to your trader pack and site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. It works well for race days and sports events and open-air performances, serving quesadillas, burritos and tacos.
Near Ibsley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Christmas markets in Ibsley trade in the dark from about 4:05pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Ibsley questions
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you come out to small places like Ibsley?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you need power?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Do you cover Ibsley?
Yes, we do. Ibsley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
