Food truck hire in Shotover Hill, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. It suits wedding evening food and summer parties at home, serving vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In and around Shotover Hill, our truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
