How our food truck hire works in Heart's Delight
Our food truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Heart's Delight and nearby. It suits engagement parties and garden parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and vegan tacos.
Somewhere as small as Heart's Delight, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Why choose food truck hire in Heart's Delight?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
