How much does a food truck cost for a garden party?

Expect 8 to 15 pounds per head depending on the cuisine. Pricing is shown upfront on Nuento.

Can a food truck fit in my garden?

Most food trucks need about 4x3 metres of flat space and vehicle access. A driveway or firm lawn usually works. Check with the supplier if you are unsure.

Food trucks operate in all weather. They cook and serve from the truck itself. A gazebo or marquee for guests is a good backup.

Can I book more than one food truck?

Yes. Many people book a main food truck plus a dessert truck or mobile bar for variety. On Nuento you can book multiple suppliers.

What do food trucks need at the venue?

Most food trucks are fully self-contained — they bring their own vehicle, cooking equipment, power, and serving setup. All they typically need is a flat surface with vehicle access. Some events may require you to arrange a pitch or power hookup.
