Food truck hire for your event in Steel Cross
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. It works well for client hospitality and summer parties at home, serving burritos, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Steel Cross, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.

Food truck hire or something else?
