How we price food truck hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Serving staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The address or venue name
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in Whitley, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Food truck hire in Whitley, served fresh
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. At launch events and parties in venue grounds, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos and more.
For a place the size of Whitley, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. December events in Whitley lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day

FAQs for Whitley
Could you serve in Pearman's Copse?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Whitley for guests?
Guests can use Reading Green Park station, about 1.7 miles west of Whitley.
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.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Why choose food truck hire in Whitley?
If you want guests to remember the food, a private food truck is a strong option. There is 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. Your quote sets it all out.
