Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Calcot: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Calcot Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Is Calcot close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How much does food truck hire cost in Calcot?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can we add drinks?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will talk licensing through with you.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Hiring our taco truck near Calcot

For food truck hire in RG31, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Local streets include Curtis Road, Barclay Road and Royal Avenue; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Beansheaf Farm (1 mile south-east), Fords Farm (1 mile east), Horncastle (1 mile east), Little Heath (1 mile north) and Theale (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Newbury (12 miles west), Thatcham (9 miles west), Burghfield Common (3 miles south), Speenhamland (12 miles west), Spencers Wood (5 miles south-east) and Shaw (12 miles west). Being one of West Berkshire’s larger places, Calcot has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A hired food truck at a summer event in Calcot can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
