FAQs for Tilehurst Within
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
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.
Is Tilehurst Within close to London?
It’s about 40 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
