The same truck is the mobile kitchen behind our off-site catering. Window service is what this page books.

Why a truck

It solves a problem a banquet room cannot.

There is nowhere to set up

A parking lot, a park, a job site, the street outside your building. A banquet needs a room. The truck needs a place to park.

People are arriving over three hours

A buffet is set, held and cleared on a schedule. A truck serves whoever turns up, which is what an open house, a block party or a shift change actually needs.

You want the food to be the entertainment

People line up, talk in line, and watch their food being made. That does more for a room than a lunch on a back table.

It is late and the bar is still open

Wedding late-night is the truck’s best hour. Pull it up outside at ten o’clock and the dance floor empties into a line and then fills back up again.

Late night

After the cake, the truck opens its window.

Book it for the late-night alone, or with the dinner it cooked. Either way, start with the date.

Tell us the date and roughly how many.

Give us the date, the address, a rough headcount, the serving window, and whether you are paying for everyone or guests buy their own. We will come back with what it costs and what the truck needs from the site.

Questions

Food truck catering, answered.

How much space does the truck need?

Two standard parking spaces in a row, with the service side clear and room to drive in and out. A parking lot, a wide driveway or a closed street all work; tell us what you have.

Do you need power or water on site?

No. The truck carries its own power and water, which is the point of it.

How fast can the truck serve a line?

It depends on the menu and the time you give us. Send the headcount and the window and we say what fits; forty people in line clear quickly on a menu this short.

Can guests pay for their own, or do we buy it all?

Either. A private buyout, where you cover everything, is the usual choice for a company event or a wedding late-night. For a public-facing event, guests can pay at the window.

Can you cater the event and bring the truck?

Yes. The same truck cooks the dinner, then opens its window at ten for late-night. Both timelines get written together.

What does a food truck cost for a private event?

$3,000 minimum to book the truck, no headcount minimum. At 150 guests that is $20 a guest, inside Roaming Hunger’s $15 to $30 for Milwaukee trucks. The minimum covers window service; staffed catering is quoted separately. Under 100 guests it costs more per head; ask Alexa about staffed catering instead.

How far will the truck travel?

Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington and Racine counties as standard. Farther is usually possible with enough notice, so ask.

What happens if it rains?

The truck serves in the rain. The line is what suffers, so for an uncovered outdoor event give people somewhere to wait under.
