FAQs for Tilehurst Within
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Round Copse?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Is Tilehurst Within close to London?
It’s about 40 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Give us separate numbers for children
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Tilehurst Within until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details 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.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

A closer look at the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
