Food truck hire in Reading, from our food truck or trailer
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. At private outdoor parties and garden parties, we will put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and vegan tacos and more.
For a staff party or private celebration in Reading, hiring our truck or trailer keeps the food simple: guests come to the hatch, order and eat. Tell us about town-centre access and loading times. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Share your running order
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
Comparing your options
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours so you can join in. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

FAQs for Reading
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Nations Christian Centre?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Could you serve in Eldon Square?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cater in Reading?
We do. Reading is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
