How our food truck hire works in Caversham Heights
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. We serve vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, which works well for milestone birthdays and end-of-year celebrations.
In a smaller place like Caversham Heights, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Agree service times with us
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Running late? Tell us and we will adjust service.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.

Reading station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Should I do it myself?
