The process
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down.

Common questions in Kidlington
What’s the nearest station to Kidlington for guests?
Oxford Parkway station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give 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 to suit your day.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Popular choices
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas.
Quesadillas
Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese.
