For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Reading Green Park station, about 1 mile east. Before you pencil in Calcot Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
We serve at events all over the RG30 postcode area. Streets in the area include Mill Road, Green Lane and Burghfield Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover events in Fords Farm (1 mile north), Southcote (1 mile north-east), Horncastle (1 mile north), Pingewood (1 mile south-east) and Beansheaf Farm (1 mile north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Caversham (4 miles north-east), Shinfield (4 miles south-east), Arborfield Garrison (6 miles south-east), Caversham Heights (4 miles north-east), Whitley Wood (3 miles east) and Sonning Common (6 miles north).

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. In Burghfield Bridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Burghfield Bridge: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Burghfield Bridge for guests?
Guests can use Reading Green Park station, about 1 mile east of Burghfield Bridge.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Matthew's?
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.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Reading. Find your area.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
