Caversham questions
How far is Caversham from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Which station is closest to Caversham?
The closest is Reading station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Should I do it myself?
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.

Where the truck can go in Caversham
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Late-September events in Caversham see sunset at about 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
