How our food truck hire works in Arreton
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order. It works well for summer parties at home and engagements and anniversaries, serving burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Arreton, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: 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. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

- Email us any allergies

- Flag any coeliac guests

Food truck hire or something else?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
