FAQs for Sonning Common
How far is Sonning Common from central London?
It’s about 38 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Church of Christ the King?
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’ll check the access.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you come to Sonning Common?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Sonning Common is within our area. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Comparing your options
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
