‘ Many more people are utilising their homes , barns and land having had two years to appreciate their home comforts and embrace the simple wonders of family life - the functionality of a food truck is perfect for these . Prosecco and cocktails are the drinks of choice , plus a few requests for coffee during the day for those not drinking .’

TIME TO TRUCK-IN
The restrictions of the pandemic have given way to weddings that seek to take on more of a ‘ festival ’ persona , welcoming the idea of freedom and relaxed celebrations while shrugging off the traditional wedding structure and their three-course sit-down meals .
While couples may be seeking to embrace a more relaxed and informal approach to their nuptials , and by default their dining , the desire for bespoke , quality food and drink is still as strong as ever . One notable way to bring artisan produce and variety for guests is courtesy of a locally sourced , produce-forward food and / or drink truck or two .
‘ Weddings are getting a lot more relaxed when it comes to style and this is depicted in drinks and dining . Having more choice to cater for all guests is now very important as is sustainability and the use of local produce to help promote smaller businesses ,’ confirms Laura Taylor , founder of WildBox .
Promised to bring an element of original creative flair and quirky novelty to the day , food and drink truck option opens up a world of variety with everything from trucks fit with pizza ovens and BBQ grills to horseboxes with bespoke cocktail bars such as those offered by WildBox and The Thirsty Farrier .
