Pingewood questions
How far is Pingewood from central London?
It is about 40 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come out to small places like Pingewood?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you come to Pingewood?
We do. Pingewood is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Can we hire a bar too?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Food truck hire in Pingewood, from our truck or trailer
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It works well for client hospitality and family reunions, with burritos, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
In a small place like Pingewood, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. By late September, it is dark in Pingewood at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Email us any allergies
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Tell us about coeliac guests
If your timings move, let us know and we’ll adjust service.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
For event organisers in Pingewood
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Organising a club, school or community event in Pingewood? 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.
How we price food truck hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
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.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Distance from houses and windows
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Book food, drinks or both
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A clear quote
- We cover Pingewood and the whole of Reading
