Mexican catering for your event in Bampton
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for anniversaries and engagements and leaving parties.
A place like Bampton may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

For event organisers in Bampton
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.

Bampton: your questions answered
Is Bampton close to London?
It’s about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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’ll check the access.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evenings in Bampton stay light until about 9:30pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
