How our food truck hire works in Longford
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. For client hospitality and anniversary celebrations, we will put together a menu of burritos, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Longford, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
