Food truck hire in Shaw
Food truck hire in Shaw, served fresh
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. For retirement parties and end-of-year parties, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos for your guests.
In and around Shaw, our truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Food truck hire in Shaw: local tips
Shaw is about 1 mile north-east of Newbury, in West Berkshire. For food truck hire in Shaw, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cater in 155 places across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Shaw to Basingstoke (about 14 miles away).
If you are celebrating after a ceremony at a church like Parish Church of St Mary, our truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot. Around Shaw, historic houses include Shaw House (less than half a mile north-west) and Benham Park (2.4 miles west). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit.
This part of West Berkshire takes in RG14 and RG18, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Park Lane, Shaw Road and Kiln Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. You’ll find Shaw on the A4, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Shaw, we also cover Speenhamland (1 mile west), Donnington (1 mile north-west), Speen (1 mile west), Bagnor (2 miles west) and Stockcross (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Burghfield Common (11 miles east), Hungerford (9 miles west), Spencers Wood (15 miles east), Calcot (12 miles east), Lambourn (12 miles north-west) and Burghfield Hill (11 miles east). As one of the bigger places in West Berkshire, Shaw has plenty of venues and spaces for events, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Well-known places in the area include Donnington Castle (1.3 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1 mile east). The countryside around Shaw includes Audrey's Meadow.
- Nearby schools include Trinity School (less than half a mile north-west) and Trinity School (within half a mile north-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Cock Inn (under half a mile north-west)

Shaw questions
Which station should guests use for Shaw?
Guests can use Newbury Racecourse station, about 0.8 miles south-east of Shaw.
Is Shaw close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you do parties at home?
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.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Email us any allergies
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
