What's the minimum guest count for Philadelphia chicken truck catering?

What's a chicken cheesesteak and can I get it from a food truck?
A chicken cheesesteak is Philadelphia's spin on the classic—thinly sliced chicken instead of beef, served on a hoagie roll with melted cheese and traditional toppings. Yes, many of our trucks serve this Philly favorite.
How far in advance should I book for Philadelphia events?
For spring and fall events, book 4-6 weeks ahead. Summer events should book 3-4 weeks out. Major events like Eagles games, Made in America weekend, and holiday parties fill up fast—book 6-8 weeks ahead.
Can chicken trucks serve indoor corporate events?

Can chicken trucks handle large outdoor company events?
Absolutely. Philadelphia chicken trucks are experienced with large corporate picnics, company outings, and events of 300-500+ guests. Fried chicken serves efficiently for large crowds. For very large events, we can coordinate multiple trucks to ensure everyone gets fed promptly.
What chicken options work for guests with dietary restrictions?
Most Philadelphia chicken trucks offer grilled chicken options for guests avoiding fried foods. Many provide gluten-free preparations with advance notice. Sides like coleslaw, mac and cheese, and cornbread accommodate vegetarian guests. Let us know your dietary requirements when booking.
