Mexican catering near Christmas Common
The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Christmas Common until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Mexican catering in Christmas Common, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It works well for garden parties and family celebrations, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Christmas Common, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Taco catering in Christmas Common: local tips
Christmas Common is about 8 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. For Mexican catering in Christmas Common, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Christmas Common. Christmas Common is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 13 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Icknield Community College, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of the Nativity, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. With the Chilterns National Landscape about a mile away at most, a rural setting is never far from Christmas Common. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in Christmas Common? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

FAQs for Christmas Common
Do you come to events in the Chilterns National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Christmas Common from London?
It’s about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What are your prices?
Every event is quoted for individually, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Mexican catering or something else?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
