Food truck hire in Sonning
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Distance from houses and windows
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Food truck hire in Sonning, served fresh
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Sonning and nearby: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. At family reunions and big birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
Near Sonning, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. December events in Sonning lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Sonning: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Sonning?
The closest is Twyford station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Sonning?
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.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
