Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

How our Mexican street food works in Congelow
We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. It works well for race days and sports events and open days and community events, with burrito bowls, burritos and vegan tacos.
Rural events near Congelow can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
