Why food truck catering for your Gainesville event
Gainesville's calendar belongs to the University of Florida. Move-in, home game weekends, department socials, Greek life and graduation all land on predictable dates and all compete for the same vendors at the same time. Book early here and you get your pick; book late and you get whoever is left. We'd rather tell you that in September than in April.
From BBQ to tacos, grilled cheese to ice cream, we serve fresh, hot meals from local favorites without the hassle of traditional catering. You share the details. We handle the rest, including helping you find a food truck friendly venue if you need one.
