Planners, venues and businesses

Charlton questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us 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.
Food truck hire in Charlton: local tips
Charlton is about 7 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. For an event in Charlton, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We serve in 443 places across Oxfordshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Charlton to Oxford (13 miles away).
With the A417 nearby, getting our food truck or trailer to Charlton is straightforward. When the service is at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer.

How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A Christmas party in Charlton with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water
Getting a price
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Should I do it myself?
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’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many guests we’re serving
- Whether you need disposables
- The length of service
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
