Food truck hire for Arborfield Cross events
About our food truck hire in Arborfield Cross
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. For private parties in fields and grounds and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas and more.
In a small place like Arborfield Cross, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Send allergy details in writing
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Count children separately
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
