Why Food Trucks are A Better Idea for Weddings Than Sit Down Catering

Food trucks are increasingly popular as catering options for weddings or events. Most of the times they are hired to satisfy guests's late night munchies, but as they start to offer more diverse food people choose them instead of the standard sit-down catering.

If you're unsure which option to go for, here's a guide that might help you decide.

Quick Service

One of the reasons food trucks are such a big hit at festivals is that they are great at feeding large crowds. Typically one truck can cater for approximately 75 people, so if your party is bigger than that then consider hiring more than one truck.

If that's not an option you wish to go for, then ask the food crew if they can start prepping portions half an hour in advance and set up a table in front of the food van for people to self-serve. Like a buffet but tastier. More tips on how to choose your food stand in this post.

Save money

Food trucks allow for a more relaxed atmosphere and if that describes your ideal wedding, then guess what, it comes at a lower price too. Catering services charge more because they also provide table waiting. But a relaxed wedding is about flexible eating times too. Most food trucks are in the range of £10 per person which helps you save money without compromising on food quality or fun.

Bags of flavour

As opposed to catering services which prepare the food somewhere else and bring it to your wedding, food trucks bring the kitchen to your venue. They have fresh ingredients and make the dish to order. Plus guests could have extras.

An easy ice-breaker

Instead of sitting around and waiting for food at separate tables, guests can meet and talk with other guests while waiting in line for food. Consider adding benches for people to sit at and eat their food outside. This might encourage people to mingle for longer whilst finishing their food. You're welcome, introverts!

If you opt for a cocktail bar truck too, then your entertainment is pretty much complete. A truck craze right now are craft beer trucks which are even cooler if they're self-serve.

Complete your wedding theme

Food trucks come in different styles and generally the style matches the food type they make. So this is an opportunity for you to complete your wedding decor with a matching van. If it's a mixed culture wedding then this is your chance to surprise your guests with dishes that represent your background.
