Mexican catering in Burford, from our food truck or trailer
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It suits company summer parties and fundraisers and school events, serving loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
Around Burford, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Burford: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Burford?
The closest is Shipton station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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. Send us the reception address.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Space for guests to queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
