Food truck hire in Wivelsfield, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. For wedding receptions and client events and product launches, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
In a small place like Wivelsfield, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
