Food truck hire for your event in Baldslow
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. For garden parties and client events and product launches, we can serve tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and quesadillas and more.
