Food truck hire in Caversham, served fresh
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. For family celebrations and private parties in fields and grounds, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
With our truck or trailer hired for your event in Caversham, nobody is stuck in the kitchen. Guests queue at the hatch and order, so plan space for a line beside the truck. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Questions from Caversham
Which station should guests use for Caversham?
Guests can use Reading station, about 1.3 miles south of Caversham.
Could you serve in Eldon Square?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check the access. There is more in our space and power guide.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, it stays light in Caversham until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
