How our Mexican catering works in Headington
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It suits birthday parties and retirement and leaving parties, with loaded nachos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Around Headington, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Headington
How far is Headington from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station should guests use for Headington?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 2.6 miles west of Headington.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What can we choose from?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Can you come to a private house?
That 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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Planning a food truck in Headington
Headington is about 1 mile north-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Headington or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire.
Historic houses near Headington include Holywell Manor, Oxford (1.6 miles west) and Garsington Manor (4.2 miles south-east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Andrew's Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in OX3, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We can cater an event on streets such as Upway Road, Osler Road and Beech Road. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Northway (1 mile north-west), Headington Quarry (1 mile south-east), Headington Hill (1 mile south-west), New Marston (1 mile west) and Oxford (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Didcot (11 miles south), Bicester (10 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (7 miles south-west), Witney (12 miles west), Thame (10 miles east) and Wantage (15 miles south-west).

Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Count children separately
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
