About our food truck hire in Sharpthorne
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Sharpthorne: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. On the menu are burritos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for back-garden parties and launch events.
Somewhere as small as Sharpthorne, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Step by step
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A hired food truck at a summer event in Sharpthorne can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
