Food truck hire for Reading Street events
How our food truck hire works in Reading Street
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Reading Street and nearby. Popular choices include burrito bowls, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for end-of-year celebrations and christenings and family parties.
Near Reading Street, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
What affects the price in Reading Street
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, item by item
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made for your event.
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. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Count children separately
- Email us any allergies
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
