This was my first time using Roaming Hunger. I do quarterly events and usually spend a large amount of time trying to find what I'm looking for with little minimal success. Roaming Hunger made booking a truck like one-stop-shopping. I knew who was available, what they offered and had a price within minutes! Jody was always quick to answer any questions and made this one of the easiest events I've planned so far.

Typical service times are 2-3 hours. Additional hours will increase total costs. Travel fees can also affect pricing. Food trucks may charge a per-mile fee if your event is outside their normal travel radius (20-30 miles).
