Food truck hire in Cross in Hand, from our truck or trailer
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch, and it’s a good fit for engagement parties and leaving dos and retirements.
In a rural place like Cross in Hand, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
