FAQs for Donnington
What’s the nearest station to Donnington for guests?
Oxford station, about 1.9 miles north-west of the centre.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Alban the Martyr?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How does food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
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 do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Allergen information for every dish
- Quoted for your event

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
