About our food truck hire in Earley
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits weddings and end-of-year celebrations, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos.
In a town like Earley, a hired food truck can park on a drive, in a club or hall car park, or at a hired venue. Any of them can work if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level ground. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
