Guests leaving a church like Church of St James the Less could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that Pangbourne has its own station, Pangbourne station. Pangbourne is within about 7 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.
Food truck hire in RG8 is planned around your venue and access. Local streets include High Street, Station Road and Meadow Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. We also serve at events in Whitchurch-on-Thames (1 mile north), Tidmarsh (1 mile south), Sulham (1 mile south-east), Purley on Thames (2 miles east) and Mapledurham (2 miles east).

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A spot away from neighbours
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Tacos
- Burritos
- Quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burrito bowls
- Loaded nachos
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Your questions about food truck hire in Pangbourne
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James the Less?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A hired food truck at a summer event in Pangbourne can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
