Your North West Wedding - June/July 2025 (Issue 92)

60 WHY WE LOVE THEM SO Keeping it casual. The beauty of food trucks is that you can turn what would be a very formal event into more of a party. Personalised. Choose a food truck that means a lot to you and your partner. Shared a lot of pizzas at the beginning of your relationship? Loved that holiday to Italy? Have an outdoor pizza oven serving the classics! Great for garden venues. For venues with magnificent gardens, bring your guests outside for their grub to enjoy the view and soak up the love. Flexible. If the guest numbers have changed somewhat, or you dont want a strict eating time, you can rely on a food truck. Set a window and enable guests to wander up, as and when they are ready. Ideal for handling diverse needs. The perk of a food truck is that if you have guests that could be classed as “fussy”, their meals can be altered on the spot! More room for activities. Without the need for great big banquet tables, you create more room for dancing and wedding games. Showcase local cuisine. As you know, we love a local supplier and now more than ever, you should support local businesses. If you have a local food truck that has served you well throughout the years, invite them to your big day! micheile.com THERE ARE SIX MAIN TYPES OF FOOD TRUCK: Street food – a classic and typically centres more on ethnically inspired foods (such as Vietnamese, Mexican or Greek). Fast food – think chips, burgers and pizza – your festival classics! Gourmet – serving food with higher-quality ingredients and can include inspiration from any of the aforementioned styles. BBQ – a staple for any British summer but can it work at weddings? With these trucks you’re bound to see some slow roasted meats and the regular line up of burgers, chicken and sausages. Vegan/vegetarian – luckily, modern society has caught up with the clean eating vegans and thank goodness for that! It’s not all celery munching and carrot grazing! Dessert – the godsend for sweet-toothed attendees and can be used in conjunction with any of the savoury trucks. When it comes to food for your wedding, it’s easy to lean on the classic three-course meal; but you may have noticed that the current wedding trend is food trucks in all their glorious forms. Food trucks are great at any type of wedding, but they are particularly good if you are hosting an outdoor one. It isn’t ideal to sit all your guests down in the sun for a hot meal, when you can give them a choice of food that they can eat on the go. Now the tricky part of narrowing down your food truck commences; don’t forget, you also need to work out a killer drinks menu to go with your food selection! Wheelie good food
