Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Organising a club, school or community event in Wantage? 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.
Who books food truck hire in Wantage?
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, not left standing on a buffet.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Client events and product launches
- Birthday parties
- Leaving parties

Guests leaving a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning a private evening event in Wantage? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive

Wantage: parking, access and venues
Wantage is about 8 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Events in Wantage are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We cover all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Wantage to Oxford (14 miles away).
Parks such as Betjeman Millennium Park usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. Roughly 57 miles separate Wantage from central London, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck. Wantage is within about 8 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.
We serve at events all over the OX12 postcode area. Local streets include Market Place, Limborough Road and Humber Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Wantage sits on or near the A338 and A417, which makes travel to your event easy. Nearby, we also cater events in Charlton (1 mile east), East Challow (1 mile west), Letcombe Regis (2 miles south-west), West Challow (2 miles west) and Childrey (2 miles west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Oxford (14 miles north-east), Didcot (8 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (8 miles north-east), Witney (14 miles north), Carterton (14 miles north-west) and Faringdon (8 miles north-west). As one of the bigger places in Oxfordshire, Wantage has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Well-known places in the area include Williams F1 Grand Prix Collection (1.9 miles north). Not far away are Letcombe Valley and Chain Hill.
- Schools near Wantage include King Alfred's (less than half a mile south-west) and Wantage Church of England Primary School (0.5 miles south)
- Local pubs include The Abingdon Arms (less than half a mile south-east)

Wantage questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Betjeman Millennium Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
What space does the truck need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What affects the price in Wantage
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Serving staff
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want service to start
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
