Food truck hire in Parkgate
Food truck hire in Parkgate, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It suits client hospitality and birthday parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
In a hamlet or village like Parkgate, our food 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
