Pingewood questions
Is Pingewood close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Pingewood for guests?
Reading Green Park station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options.
Do you cater in Pingewood?
We do. We serve at events in Pingewood and across Reading. Send us your date to check availability.
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. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Where the truck can go in Pingewood
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Pingewood loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:25pm.

Should I do it myself?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
