Food truck hire near Penwood
How our food truck hire works in Penwood
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It suits engagement parties and wedding receptions, serving vegan tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Penwood, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How the day 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 normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. December events in Penwood lose the light at about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- 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.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Food truck hire or something else?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down, leaving our spot tidy.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Penwood: your questions answered
How far is Penwood from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Which station should guests use for Penwood?
Newbury station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What access 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. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you come to Penwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Penwood is within our area and the rest of West Berkshire. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
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.

Hiring our taco truck near Penwood
