We have brought you the UK’s top wedding food and drink trucks that will rock your wedding the very minute they arrive on the scene.

They can be a trendy alternative to the conventional buffet and standard three course meal. They are quite an affordable option and it’s definitely a very original way to bring fresh food and fine cuisine to your wedding guests. There are quite a big variety to choose from and we are sure deciding which one you would want to cater for your wedding won’t be easy!

We have reduced the list of the best food and drink caterers in the UK to the 10 below. These are not your regular wedding food stalls, we have chosen the most unusual, original and funky gourmet food caravans that will add some fun and entertainment for your guests on your very special day.

1. THE WOODLAND ROVER: Log Fired Pizza

You can’t go wrong with pizza and Dan, the head of The Woodland Rover knows this well. He converted his Land Rover Defender into a mobile oven to cook his wood-smoke flavoured ‘piping hot, mouth-watering pizza’ to bring to your guests tables in just 90 seconds! Although they are well known for their popular rustic pizzas, this truck’s oven has been adapted to cook meat and fish, so they will  be more than happy to create a special menu to suit your needs.

The Woodland Rover guys use British Farm produce to bring to your wedding that countryside taste and traditional cooking that Dan shines at, having an agricultural background himself.

The Yorkshire Airstream trailer Smokin Blues provides an alternative to the traditional wedding catering. Their love for food originates in the Southern American States’ low and slow smoked style flavoured meat cooked in spices and sauces.

Their most popular wedding breakfasts are their BBQ platters, presented on rustic wooden sharing boards which can be served to seated guests or straight from the trailer.

10. COUPLE OF MUGS: Vintage Mobile Bar and Tea Van

Rhys and Rhys have created a mobile bar and tea van that will add a little exotic taste to your wedding: ‘whole leaf’ teas from all over the world, cocktails and home-made cakes in their rare Citroen H Cédric van which by the way can play personalised music through the van’s sound system!.

At Couple Of Mugs you can choose from:

• Dry Hire: This option will save you some money! You can hire the van and two members of staff and you will be responsible for sourcing and supplying the drinks whilst their staff serves them on your behalf.
• Full Bar: You can contact them with a list of drinks you want and they will source them and supply them for you. Their staff will cater your guests from the van.
• Bespoke Service: If you have any ideas they are open to suggestions.They would love to hear from you!

 

Now you have a list of the TOP 10 UK Wedding Food and Drinks Caterers, you will need to take into account a few things before you jump into hiring any of these fantastic companies:

• Limited supplies: How many guests will there be at your wedding? As a rule of thumb a food truck will cater around 80 guests. Make sure you have more than one van supplying food if you are hosting a large wedding. Nobody wants to be queuing for food for long!
• The Vegetarian Option: Arrange for at least one or two vegetarian (and vegan if possible!) options for those guests who are into their vegetables. Speak to your chosen food supplier and make sure they can incorporate this possibility.
• When are you getting married? Although food and drink trucks are a great alternative, if you want to have one of them on site on your wedding day, make sure you are getting married during the warm season to avoid having your guests queuing for their food out in the cold.

Have you decided which of the above is your favourite? With such an amazing food choice it will not be an easy task! Do you know about any other inspirational ways to serve food at a wedding? Share them with us!
