Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Comparing caterers?

About our food truck hire in Ashampstead
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for client hospitality and private outdoor parties, serving tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and burritos.
In a rural place like Ashampstead, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
Send us the date, your venue or RG8 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Share your running order
- Send allergy details in writing
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Tell us what serveware you need and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. December events in Ashampstead lose the light at about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Hiring a food truck in Ashampstead
Ashampstead is about 7 miles north-east of Thatcham, in Oxfordshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Ashampstead or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 10 miles away.
Close to Ashampstead are historic houses such as Basildon Park (2.9 miles east). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. Roughly 47 miles separate Ashampstead from central London. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Ashampstead, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.
For food truck hire in RG8, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Ashampstead: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Ashampstead?
The closest is Goring & Streatley station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you cater in villages like Ashampstead?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Why choose food truck hire in Ashampstead?
It feels informal but well looked after, because we cook, serve and clear away.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Client events and product launches
- Staff summer parties
- Big birthdays
- Leaving dos and retirements
If you’re celebrating after a ceremony at a church like Church of St Clement, our food truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot.
