Food truck hire in Picket Piece
Food truck hire in Picket Piece, served fresh
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. For family celebrations and weddings, we can serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a smaller place like Picket Piece, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
