Wedding Food Truck FAQs
Considering hiring a food truck for your wedding, but not sure where to start? We've got expert advice to help you with your catering quandaries.
Why choose a food truck for your wedding?
Food trucks bring a sense of laid-back charm that make them truly unique catering suppliers. For couples who want their wedding to feel more like a party than a formal affair, this is a brilliant way to create a relaxed atmosphere that still feels special.
One of the biggest appeals is the experience. Guests don’t just eat – they interact. Whether it’s watching a pizza being tossed and cooked in a wood-fired oven, or choosing toppings from a bespoke burger menu, a street van food setup adds a social and interactive element to your day.
They also offer incredible variety. From gourmet burgers and bao buns to vegan tacos and loaded fries, food trucks can cater to pretty much every preference and dietary requirement. And because the food is prepared fresh on site, the flavour is second to none.
Plus, there’s something undeniably cool about a vintage van or quirky trailer parked up at your venue. It makes for amazing photos, and a brilliant talking point for guests.
How do food trucks work at weddings?
Food trucks are essentially fully equipped mobile kitchens. Most will arrive a couple of hours before serving time to get set up and ready to go. They usually need access to power and water, but beyond that, they’re generally quite self-sufficient.
Janet from Fancy Fries Yorkshire shares how it works: “We have a bespoke vintage trailer which runs on Calor gas and is fully kitted out with a griddle, double fryer, burners and hot holding equipment. We need a tap for water access and a power source, and we cook everything fresh on-site. We usually arrive around 2 to 2.5 hours before serving, and packing down takes about an hour as we need to let the oil cool.”
Most food trucks operate with a small team who take orders and prep the food. Guests either queue at the truck or are called up in groups – you can work with your vendor to organise this depending on your venue and guest count.
How much does a food truck cost for a wedding?
The cost of food truck hire for weddings can vary depending on the type of food, the number of guests, and your location – but it’s often more affordable than a full sit-down meal.
Most trucks will price by headcount, with average costs starting at around £8-£12 per person for mains. If you’re adding extras like canapés, sides, or desserts, this might increase to £15–£25 per guest. Some vendors may also have a minimum spend or flat hire fee, so it’s worth discussing upfront.
Janet from Fancy Fries adds: “We usually charge around £12 per head for our main menu, though this can vary depending on the items selected. We also offer canapés and desserts, which can be added to create a full meal package.”
Don't forget to factor in travel fees, especially if your venue is in a rural location or outside the vendor’s usual area.
Do I need more than one food truck for 100+ guests?
Not necessarily. One well-prepared food truck can serve over 100 guests – in fact, many can comfortably handle up to 150–170 people without issue. However, the key consideration is timing.
If you’re serving everyone at once, you’ll want to ensure the wait time stays reasonable. Some couples opt to have two food trucks – either serving the same menu to split the queue, or offering different cuisines to provide variety. Others stagger service, so guests come up in groups, or use a food truck as a second catering point for the evening buffet.
Janet explains: “One food truck can easily accommodate 170 people. We just work efficiently and make sure everything is prepped for smooth service. Organisation is key!”
For larger weddings, your vendor may suggest a set menu or a limited choice to help things move quickly.
Can food trucks serve drinks or alcohol?
Some food trucks can serve non-alcoholic drinks like softs, teas and coffees - but if you’re hoping for cocktails or pints, you’ll need to check whether the vendor has the appropriate alcohol licence.
Janet shares: “We can’t serve alcohol ourselves, as we’d need a licence, but there are plenty of mobile bars available that can come alongside us.”
Many couples opt to hire a separate drinks van – think prosecco trucks, gin bars or even horsebox cocktail bars – to complement the main food offering. If your venue has a bar on-site, the food truck will typically just focus on food, while the venue handles beverages.

Things to Consider When Hiring a Food Truck
Before booking your wedding food truck, here are some practical things to bear in mind:
- Guest Numbers: Can the truck cater to your guest list size efficiently? Will everyone be eating at once or staggered over time?
- Venue Suitability: Not all venues allow food trucks. Check whether your venue permits external caterers and whether there’s suitable access for the vehicle to park.
- Space & Set-Up: Food trucks need level ground, ample parking space, and often a bit of room for queues. Make sure your venue can accommodate it, especially if it's a marquee or garden setup.
- Power & Water Supply: Most food trucks need to plug into a power source and may require access to a water tap. Always confirm these details ahead of time to avoid any last-minute hitches.
- Logistics & Timings: Chat with your vendor about how food will be served – is it open for a set period or available throughout the day? Will guests order at the window or be called up in groups?
- Menu & Dietary Requirements: Make sure the food truck can cater for any dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or allergen-friendly options.
- Weather: If your wedding is outdoors, think about rain cover or a plan B. While most food trucks can serve in light rain, your guests might not enjoy queuing in it!
Wedding food trucks bring character, charm and culinary flair to your big day.
Whether you go for a gourmet burger van, a prosecco bar, or a mix of sweet and savoury treats, there’s something incredibly joyful about seeing your guests tuck into something fresh and delicious - no table plans, no cutlery stress, just great food and good vibes.
