Mexican catering in Headington Hill, from our truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits retirement and leaving parties and summer garden parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
There may be a hall or club near Headington Hill if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease

- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December event in Headington Hill will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Headington Hill questions
How far is Headington Hill from London?
It is about 52 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Headington Hill 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 will send what they need from us.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, 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.
Can you set up at our venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
