How much does food truck hire cost?

What affects the price of hiring Burger Bus, CHIPS!, Buckland Burgers or Poutine Brothers, and how to get an exact quote.

Every quote is built around your event

There's no one-size price for hiring a burger van or food truck, because no two events are the same. A 60-person garden party in Frome and a 500-person staff day in Swindon need very different setups. Instead of a price list, Steve gives you a fixed quote once he knows the basics.

Here's what makes the difference, so you know what to expect before you ask.

What affects the price

Number of guests. This is the biggest factor. More people means more food, more crew and sometimes a second brand to keep the queue down.

How long we're serving. A two-hour evening slot costs less than serving all day at a festival or sports event.

Which brand, or brands. A stall (CHIPS! or Buckland Burgers) and a bus (Burger Bus or Poutine Brothers) are set up differently. Booking two side by side gives guests a choice and halves the queue.

The date. Summer Saturdays and the run-up to Christmas are the busiest times of year. Weekdays and quieter months are more flexible.

Where the event is. Events around Bristol, Bath, Frome and Somerset are home ground. Further afield, like Exeter, Cheltenham or Swindon, travel is part of the quote.

Who pays. Whether you're covering your guests' food or they're paying at the hatch changes how the booking is priced, so tell Steve which you'd like.

Questions about price

How much does it cost to hire a burger van?

It depends on your guest numbers, how long you want us serving, where the event is and the date. Send Steve those details on the booking page and he'll come back with a fixed price.

Is there a minimum spend?

It depends on the date, the location and the brand you choose. Ask Steve and he'll tell you straight away.

Do you charge for travel?

Distance is one of the things Steve takes into account when he prices your event. For the edges of our area, such as Exeter or Cheltenham, just ask.

Can guests pay for their own food instead?

It depends on the event. Tell Steve how you'd like it to work, whether you're covering your guests or they're paying at the hatch, and he'll price it to suit.

How do I get an exact price?

Use the booking form with your date, rough numbers, venue and which brand you like. Steve comes back to you with a price.
