Banbury: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to People's Park?
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.
Which station is closest to Banbury?
Banbury station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
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. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
About our food truck hire in Banbury
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. It works well for milestone birthdays and engagements and anniversaries, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In a town like Banbury, a hired food truck can park on a drive, in a club or hall car park, or at a hired venue. All can work, given a way in and level ground. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

How it compares
