Food truck hire for Snowdown events
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Food truck hire in Snowdown, from our food truck or trailer
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events. At parties in venue grounds and back-garden parties, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Snowdown, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
