Planning a food truck in Dean Court

Mexican catering in Dean Court, from our food truck or trailer
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. On the menu are loaded nachos, tacos and burritos, and it is a good fit for christenings and family parties and garden parties.
In a smaller place like Dean Court, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

FAQs for Dean Court
Is it possible to have you in Raleigh Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Andrew's?
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 will check the access.
Do you come to Dean Court?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Dean Court and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
