How we price food truck hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- What the venue already provides
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
