If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it stays light in Hook End until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.

- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we offer in Hook End

- A menu built around your guests

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Hook End questions
Which station is closest to Hook End?
The closest is Pangbourne station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Perfect for your event in Hook End
It is a private hire, so the queue is your guests only and the menu suits them.
Whatever you are celebrating in Hook End, the serving truck can be a highlight. We’re happy to cater:
- Staff appreciation days
- Wedding receptions
- Private parties in fields and grounds
- End-of-year celebrations
When the service is at a church such as St Peter and St Paul, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
