We loved working with Farm Truck Philly on our client's wedding day. The team was wonderfully professional, prompt and cared a great deal about setting up and making sure everything was displayed and prepared beautifully!

I highly recommend Philly Farm Truck for any catering needs. First, the general way they do business was A+. We worked with Percy and the team for our wedding and it was a great success! When we first started working with Percy, it was pre-COVID and we were planning a rather large event. Once the pandemic hit, there was obviously much uncertainty on if or how to proceed. Percy was super flexible and professional and committed to working with us in a fair and transparent manner as we worked to figure out what size event we could hold safely.Perhaps even more importantly though, the food. It was amazing! The fish tacos were legitimately the best I've had; the mezze platter, shrimp skewers and farm salad were all met with rave reviews. Everything was fresh, seasonal, and the staff working the event were professional and friendly. Everything was individually packaged in a way that allowed guests to try all the food in a safe manner. This is a difficult time for caterers, food trucks etc. and I give Philly Farm truck a lot of credit for the way they worked with us through the ups and downs of this year. Thanks Percy and team!

We absolutely loved having Philly Farm Truck cater our wedding. Not only were the a pleasure to work with personally, the food was incredible and our guests were very impressed. Keep up the great work!

They were so wonderful in accommodating our requests! The food was delicious and the service was great. They individually packaged each item for our guests to ensure everyone felt safe and we also learned they fed 10,000 plus city police officers recently.

My fiance and I hired Farm Truck Philly for our wedding on 6/8/2019 and we booked more than a year in advance. When testing the food out at a local street event we loved EVERYTHING they served and were super excited to have them at our wedding since the pricing was right in line with our budget. Once we started getting closer to the date I inquired with the owner Kris about logistics of the day and requested we meet in person or have a call (since we never met before) and I was only responded to in email form and given very loose details. About a month before the wedding I requested to create the menu and was told I could choose from any item on the website under the "summer" or "spring" menu. We chose items and I got menus printed for my 100 guests. Fast forward to a week before the wedding and we were told by our day-of contact, Percy, that menu items would need to change based on "seasonal availability" and chef suggestions. I not only needed to get my menus reprinted once but TWICE, when three days before the wedding we were told another item wasn't available with the toppings we had selected. They arrived on time to the event (in a back-up truck, since their really awesome looking one happened to be in the shop that day) and the food served at the cocktail hour and dinner was tasty, but what they NEVER ONCE informed me of is that the dinner items are served mini-sized and it's recommended that the guests get multiple. Since I was never told of this beforehand all my guests were extremely confused and only took small portions until half way through dinner when I learned that they were not regular entree-sized after having a freakout that there would not be enough food for my guests. All in all, I'd say save yourself the stress and go with a different caterer. I do not recommend for a large event.

FTP catered our wedding in August. They were so awesome. The venue was an hour outside of Philly and they had to set up in quite possibly the heaveiest rain ever. Everyone raved about the food. We had a handful of dietary restrictions and preferences and they were totally accommodating. Service was great and the Truck and staff fit in perfectly with the whole vibe of the day. We opted to have a nacho bar set up left for us to serve late night which we never ended up putting out the night of the wedding, but saved for the next days poolside brunch. It was perfect.

The only reason I’m giving any stars is because the food was decent. We hired the Farm Truck for our wedding on 5/11/19. We booked them in March 2018 and at that time all our conversations were with Kris the owner. 2 weeks before our wedding we were told that the company was expanding and making a few changes so we were asked to sign an addendum to our contract from March 2018. We were told nothing would chance with our contract. At that point we were still under the impression that Kris was the owner as he stated they were making the company an LLC. The day of our wedding the Farm Truck showed up late. Mind you we hired them to do food for cocktail hour, the reception and late night. Our cocktail hour was to start at 430pm, I didn’t walk down the aisle until almost 5pm as we had to push the wedding back due to the Farm Truck and our guest transportation being late. At 3pm I received an email the day of my wedding from the Farm Truck that they were running behind and that the contact person for our wedding had suddenly changed from the day before. Now what bride has their phone on them an hour before they are to get married. Our wedding coordinator was unable to get in touch with the Farm Truck that day as no one was answering their phones. The food for cocktail hour and the reception was still not ready on time even with everything being pushed back almost an hour. They stated they served everything we had chosen; however we did not see all the items and our guests stated they did not see the items we believed to be missing either. Also the food was not served out of the little window as pictured on their instagram and Facebook, instead it was served out of the passenger side door. Not one employee of the food truck apologized to my husband and I the day of our wedding. After our wedding I reached out to Kris, again who was the owner from the beginning our contact with the Farm Truck, who stated he heard what happened and would talk to his team and get back to me. A few days go past and I don’t hear anything, so I reach out to Kris again and we have a few conversations back and forth. At that time I was told that someone would be contacting me as he (Kris) only does sales for the company now and no longer is the owner. This was of course a surprise to us. So we talked to two different guys Percy and Amrish who have been giving us the run around since the week after our wedding. Both state that it’s not up to them to make a decision on what the company can do to make things right after the horrendous service they provided. Amrish at one point stated it’s up to Kris, but Kris stated that’s not true. Here we are a little over a month after our wedding and nothing has been resolved as no one from the Farm Truck has returned our calls. The company is so unprofessional and unorganized and it’s clear the Kris, Amrish and Percy don’t know who’s in charge or what is going on. I wish you luck if you chose the Farm Truck for your event.

Farm Truck was a representation of Philadelphia food for our Pocono wedding. From the beginning, Kris was easy to speak with, eager to please, and professional. Shain seemed excited to create a menu that captured our dreams and was affordable. The hors d'oeuvres and entrees were exceptionally delicious. Shain even managed to create a vegetarian musaka that was phenomenal.

Do not use this truck. One week before our party that we had booked for months, they said they double booked for that date and they could not do our party. We had a signed contract and gave a deposit. What kind of business would leave someone hanging a week before their party.

We used Farm Truck to cater our wedding reception and had a fantastic experience! They were patient and helpful while we coordinated the evening and selected a menu that accommodated a variety of dietary restrictions we knew we would have (gluten-free, vegan, and a multiple allergies). They visited our venue the day before to become familiar with it, so on the day of it felt like we barely had to give any direction -- the Farm truck team simply took it away and only had to ask us a few simple questions about our preferences. On top of all of that, the food was delicious and we had nothing but positive feedback from our guests. I'd absolutely recommend them for any event!

We had this farm to table food truck present at a company event. We were offered tacos. They have to have a lot of different options available from sandwiches to skewers to toasts. Regarding the tacos, 2 came to an order and all the ingredients appeared to be fresh as one would imagine. I went with carnitas and squash tacos. I was not sure what specifically was on each, but the carnitas was the better of two. Each taco was loaded with plenty of toppings. The carnitas had an interesting sauce that was a good compliment. There were also greens and onions I believe. The meat was tender and juicy. The squash tacos seemed to have a sweet sauce, pineapples, and a few greens as well. It was alright. I was not a fan of the sauce. Will I go back? Sure.

Farm Truck Philly catered our wedding in August. The food was delicious, they were easy to work with, and the price was reasonable. We had about 200 guests/staff and no one went hungry. I'd recommend them for catering large events.
