Welcome to Thorn, Sunday afternoon. Place was full to the Brim. Great food, good selection of drinks. Staff were friendly despite it being packed and some big bookings. Unreal arcade inside for kids. Really nice space. Will be back very soon!

The atmosphere here is not too bad and the arcade was fun to play air hockey with mates after dinner, but the food is terrible. Even the food vans quality is poor. Do not recommend eating here at all!

Since they got rid of the food trucks the food is below average. Food isn't worth it anymore. Just go for drinks and the arcade if you really want to go.

Oh yes, what a space. Burgers and beers. Nice setup and perfect during the summer months if you can find a seat would highly recommend

Came here last night for my partner's birthday. Had booked over a week in advance and had requested to be inside so we could watch the football. Upon arrival we saw that we'd been placed outside at probably the furthest possible point away. We requested multiple times with multiple staff members to move and was told they'd come back to us and they were frankly quite rude and dismissive. After about an hour of freezing our butts off outside no one had returned to say anything at all to us (despite there being many vacant tables indoors). Whilst I understand that not all seating requests will be accepted, this just felt like it was ignored entirely, and then being further ignored by many staff for over an hour really exacerbated the issue and left a sour taste.

Great food! Always something different with several different choices. Amazing service. Chill vibes.

Great place to come and hangout with a few cold drinks and great food. Go to choice here is the Philly Cheese Steak. Heaps of other choices for food too. All ordered using the Mr Yum app and then they send you a text message to go and collect. Works well.

We didn't end up getting to eat as the place we wanted to go to had sold out of stuff at 5pm on a Saturday. It was very disappointing. The prices were a lot more then we had expected too. The venue however was quite nice and welcoming. The staff polite and accommodating

Let's face it, I'm only ever there for Woking Amazing - only the best vegan Asian street food EVER!

What a great idea! Permanent Food Truck Parking area, with an outdoor eating area with tables, chairs, benches, booths. Overhead gas heating in some areas for cooler weather and lots of covered shaded areas for summer. The variety of food trucks changes so most times you visit there is a different choice of food. When we visited on a Sunday Afternoon (Mother's Day) it was fairly quiet and only 3 food trucks were operating. Toilets available, they were clean and well stocked when I visited. On site Brewery "Grainshaker" was closed, but the adjacent bar was open with an interesting range of beers, Ciders and Ginger Beers on tap.at least 15 or more that I counted plus lots of bottled beverages. Really Cool environment with an interesting retro truckstop vibe. Sort of like a food court, with a variety of food to please everyone, that is different each time you visit. The "Welcome To Thornbury" website publishes the food trucks available at any one time and they have events like the "Dummy & Dumpling Festival" with 7 food trucks. There is also an onsite popup "Blockbuster'd" video cinema playing classic movies. Parking in the area is extremely difficult as the entire area on High Street is a busy, vibrant precinct and is extremely popular. We parked over 500 metres away, and even then could only find 7 day, 1 hour parking. Would have stayed longer but didn't want a ticket.

Hard to enjoy with so many ppl on attendance. Very noisy. Was raining the day we went & not enough seats under cover

Mah.its ok
I've passed by this place so many times and was interested.

VEGAN VEGOUT was a bust I feel.
I expected food trucks with options. Options were tacos, mr.burger or wokking amazing (which served mainly burgers and had the most options in general). For the 2 hrs (530-730) I was there wokking amazing was doing 90% of the orders. We ordered 2 different "chicken" burgers and smoked chips from working amazing for $40 which left me unimpressed. I'd rather go to the Veggie Bar.

The 4 trucks don't look like they move very much, if ever. They should rotate food trucks for different events or rotate them on a weekly/monthly basis. That would give me a reason to return and give other struggling trucks some face time.

Basically I'm not returning anytime soon.

Pretty good place but only if you go at the right time that suits you. It can vary from packed with 20 year olds who treat getting drunk as a sport to sparsely populated with families with babies. Just plan ahead.

Cool weather Sunday but this venue has plenty of heating.

Shame it has moved to Mr Yum app for ordering. Part of the fun was talking with the food truck operators

It's a great place if you're after a pit stop. The phone ordering system was pretty straightforward, just need to remember to check your phone!

Complained about a girl being touched inappropriately by some guy with multiple witnesses and all the the restaurant cared about was their own venue.
Even though the guy was being served alcohol and was confronted to the management team about the entire scenario what happened, they still served him that alcohol and didn't kick him out.
Really disappointed in the morality of the place.
Don't recommend it to anyone as a human.
Want to give the venue a zero star.

It's a good place to meet friends in a pub setting. Liked food truck concept for ordering food. Would recommend this place for a casual catch up.
