About our food truck hire in Sutton
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Sutton. It works well for leaving parties and staff summer parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch.
In a rural place like Sutton, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Sutton? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. At midsummer, it stays light in Sutton until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
