How our food truck hire works in Tilehurst
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Tilehurst: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. At winter staff parties and christenings and family parties, we can serve loaded nachos, burritos and tacos from the hatch.
For a private or work event near Tilehurst, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Tilehurst: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Tilehurst?
Guests can use Tilehurst station, about 0.8 miles north of Tilehurst.
Is it possible to have you in Round Copse?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cover Tilehurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Tilehurst and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.

Tilehurst: parking, access and venues
Tilehurst is about 3 miles west of Reading, in Oxfordshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Tilehurst or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 443 places across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
When the service is at a church such as Tilehurst Methodist Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Tilehurst station, about 0.8 miles north.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in RG31 and RG30, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Ash Road, Tyle Road and Riley Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Tilehurst Within (1 mile south-east), Norcot (1 mile east), Little Heath (1 mile west), Horncastle (1 mile south-east) and Purley on Thames (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Didcot (14 miles north-west), Henley-on-Thames (7 miles north-east), Benson (11 miles north), Wallingford (10 miles north-west), Great Western Park (14 miles north-west) and Watlington (13 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Battle Hospital (1.7 miles east) and Broad Street Mall (2.6 miles east). Open spaces near Tilehurst include South Lake and Moor Copse Nature Reserve.
- Schools near Tilehurst include Little Heath School (1.1 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The Butchers Arms (less than half a mile north-west)
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A Christmas party in Tilehurst with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
