Food truck hire near Charlton
Charlton: parking, access and venues
Charlton is about 1 mile north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Across the SP10 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We serve in 683 places in Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Charlton to Winchester (about 14 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St Thomas, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. From central London, Charlton is about 64 miles away, close enough for a London team’s away day.
For food truck hire in SP10, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Dacre Close, Home Farm Gardens and Augustine Way. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Foxcotte (1 mile north-west), Penton Mewsey (1 mile west), Penton Corner (1 mile west), Penton Grafton (1 mile west) and Red Post Bridge (2 miles south-west).

How our food truck hire works in Charlton
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. It works well for milestone birthdays and winter staff parties, with burrito bowls, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
Near Charlton, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it is dark in Charlton at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
