Food truck hire in West Reading, from our truck or trailer
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. At engagement parties and end-of-year celebrations, we can serve loaded nachos, burritos and tacos from the hatch and more.
Around West Reading, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

- What power and water the site has
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

What else we do in West Reading
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. At midsummer, it stays light in West Reading until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Planning food truck hire around West Reading

Hoping to hire a food truck for a gathering in Round Copse? A catering vehicle in a public park usually needs the landowner’s permission. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mark, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Wherever your event is in RG30, RG1 and RG31, we can bring food truck hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Lundy Lane, Wilson Road and Wilton Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. West Reading is on the A4, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Your questions about food truck hire in West Reading
Which station should guests use for West Reading?
Guests can use Reading West station, which is right in West Reading.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mark?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much does food truck hire cost in West Reading?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Reading. See all areas.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
