Food truck hire for your event in Ampfield
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. For leaving parties and wedding receptions, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch for your guests.
For a rural spot like Ampfield, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
