How our food truck hire works in Swanley
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It works well for anniversary celebrations and client hospitality, with quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burritos.
In and around Swanley, our food 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
How it compares
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
