Your questions about food truck hire in Emmer Green
How far is Emmer Green from central London?
It’s about 37 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station should guests use for Emmer Green?
The closest is Reading station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you cater in Emmer Green?
We do. Emmer Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Food truck hire for your event in Emmer Green
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. On the menu are burritos, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for birthday parties and company away days.
For a private or work event near Emmer Green, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For event organisers in Emmer Green
Organising a club, school or community event in Emmer Green? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
