Food truck hire in Burghfield Common, from our truck or trailer
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. For private outdoor parties and anniversary celebrations, we can serve loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas for your guests.
In a smaller place like Burghfield Common, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Comparing your options
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Your questions about food truck hire in Burghfield Common
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station should guests use for Burghfield Common?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Agree service times with us
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.
