How our food truck hire works in Colbury
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for end-of-year celebrations and engagement parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch.
Near Colbury, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
