Food truck hire for your event in Pluckley Thorne
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits launch events and anniversary celebrations, serving tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Near Pluckley Thorne, 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. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. December events in Pluckley Thorne lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
