Food truck hire in Reading: what to expect
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. It works well for winter staff parties and company away days, serving tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.

Food truck hire in Reading: local guide
Across Reading, town venues need parking planned and village venues need access checked. We’ll confirm where we park and when we arrive.
Caversham: Around Caversham, historic houses include Mapledurham House (3 miles west) and Greys Court (4.7 miles north). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. After a service at a church such as Grace Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. A hired food truck at a summer event in Caversham can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
About the menu
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck.
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
Is food truck hire right for you?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Why street food works
It’s relaxed for guests and easy for hosts.
In Reading and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Family celebrations
- Anniversary celebrations
- Garden parties
- Private parties in fields and grounds
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
Common questions in Reading
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. We will talk through licensing first.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
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.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
