Food truck hire in Newtown, from our truck or trailer
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. For family reunions and anniversary celebrations, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a smaller place like Newtown, 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.
How it compares
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What you get with us
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Events in Newtown and across Wokingham
- Service planned around your numbers
- A plan agreed before the day

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A Christmas party in Newtown with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
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. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Share your running order
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
