Food truck hire for your event in Arborfield
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. For christenings and family parties and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and tacos from the hatch for your guests.
Near Arborfield, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. 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
Throwing 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.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it stays light in Arborfield until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Events we cater in Arborfield
It’s relaxed for guests and easy for hosts.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Christenings and family parties
- Company away days
- Milestone birthdays
- Leaving dos and retirements
Parks such as Pearman's Copse usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.
Before booking anyone
- How each diet is kept separate
- A clear list of what’s included
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- How long the service runs
Comparing your options
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What you get with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Menus chosen with you
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Allergen information for everything we serve

Arborfield questions
Is Arborfield close to London?
It’s about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Arborfield?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
