Quick Answer:
Grilly Cheese brings a full-service grilled cheese food truck to your event, cooking to order and serving fast. We can plan events from intimate gatherings to very large groups, with capacity based on the menu, order mix, equipment, crew size, service window, and guest flow. For large events, we may recommend a slimmed-down menu, staggered waves, additional stations, or multiple trucks. We are self-contained with an onboard generator and typically need a 30 ft by 10 ft space.

How much does it cost to hire a food truck for an event?
Food truck rental pricing varies based on guest count, menu selections, event duration, and travel distance. Contact us for a custom quote tailored to your specific event needs.
What size events can I book a food truck for?
You can book our food truck for events ranging from 50 to 500+ guests. For smaller gatherings under 50, drop-off catering may be more economical. For very large events, we can coordinate multiple trucks or combine with drop-off platters.
What do I need to provide when renting a food truck?
You just need adequate space for the truck (roughly a parking space and a half) and clearance of at least 10 feet overhead. We're self-contained with our own generator, so no electrical hookups are needed. Just provide access and guests.
