FAQs for Lower Caversham
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Is Lower Caversham close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your party, and we will put together a menu and price.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your party.
Build-your-own taco bar

What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Space for guests to queue
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
