How much does food truck catering cost in Boston?

Most catered food truck events work on a per-person basis, and pricing depends on the cuisine, menu, and headcount. Many events land in the $15–$30 per person range before tax and fees. For attendee-paid events, there is typically no cost to the host — guests buy directly from the truck.

What is the difference between host-paid and attendee-paid events?

With a host-paid event, you cover the food for your guests and receive one invoice. With an attendee-paid event, the truck sells directly to your attendees — a popular option for apartment communities, business parks, and HOAs that want food trucks on site without a catering budget.

How far in advance should I book?

Two to four weeks of lead time gives us the best chance to match your event with a great truck, but tell us about your event regardless of timing — we will let you know quickly what is possible.

What areas around Boston do you cover?

We arrange food truck catering throughout Greater Boston, including Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Quincy, Waltham, and surrounding communities from the North Shore to MetroWest. Enter your event address and we will confirm coverage.

What kinds of cuisine are available in Boston?

Greater Boston's food truck scene covers New England seafood, tacos and Mexican, pizza and Italian, BBQ, Asian fusion, burgers, Mediterranean, and dessert trucks. Tell us what your crowd loves — or ask for a recommendation — and we will match a truck to fit.

What happens after I submit my event?

Our catering team reviews your request and reaches out, typically within one business day, to confirm details and match your event with a truck. You approve everything before it is booked.
