Wokingham is about 33 miles west of London, in Wokingham. Anywhere in RG40, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. We serve in all 35 towns and villages across Wokingham, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Wokingham to Reading (about 6 miles away).
Wokingham is about 33 miles from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day. If you’re celebrating after a ceremony at a church like Church of St Paul, our food truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot.
Anywhere in RG40, RG41, RG7 and RG10, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Station Road, Market Square and London Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Wokingham is on the A321 and A329, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Food truck hire in Wokingham, served fresh
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. At family reunions and wedding receptions, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and vegan tacos and more.
Wokingham has all kinds of spaces where a hired food truck can serve, from venue car parks to big gardens. The truck or trailer needs a clear route in and level ground, and service is from the hatch. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Late-September events in Wokingham see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Wokingham questions
How far is Wokingham from London?
It is about 33 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station is closest to Wokingham?
Guests can use Wokingham station, which is right in Wokingham.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Do you have gluten-free options?
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.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Popular choices
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Enough width and height on the route in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
