Food truck hire in Grove, from our truck or trailer
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. We serve burrito bowls, burritos and tacos from the hatch, and it’s a good fit for engagements and anniversaries and birthday parties.
In a hamlet or village like Grove, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d park
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Food truck hire or something else?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
