Questions from Thatcham
Could you serve our guests after a service at United Reformed Church?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Thatcham for guests?
Thatcham station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Thatcham? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Evening events in Thatcham stay light until about 9:25pm at midsummer. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.

What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Give us separate numbers for children
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking.
Popular choices
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and a choice of salsas, freshly made.
