Mexican catering in Kencot
What Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many guests we are serving
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What power and water the site has
Send us the date, your venue or OX18 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Mexican catering for your event in Kencot
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Kencot: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. On the menu are burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for retirement and leaving parties and fundraisers and school events.
For a rural spot like Kencot, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Why choose Mexican catering in Kencot?
Food is cooked to order and served hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
In Kencot and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Company summer parties
- Festivals, fairs and markets
- Engagement celebrations
- Leaving parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.

Why choose Mexican catering in Kencot?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
FAQs for Kencot
How far is Kencot from central London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What food do you serve?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Kencot until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
