Food truck hire in Donnington, from our food truck or trailer
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. It suits summer parties at home and engagement parties, with burritos, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos.
Somewhere as small as Donnington, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Donnington see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Give us a contact for the day

Your questions about food truck hire in Donnington
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Donnington?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Could you serve in Victoria Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we’re serving
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff for serving and the bar
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A plan agreed before the day
- Events in Donnington and across West Berkshire
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Quoted for your event
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
