Food truck hire near Stone Cross
Food truck hire in Stone Cross, served fresh
We cook inside our truck or trailer, 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. For launch events and anniversary celebrations, we can serve vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In a rural place like Stone Cross, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: 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. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps.
