Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Common questions in Osney
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Frideswide's Church?
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 will check the access.
Could you serve in Raleigh Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How it compares
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Put any allergies in writing for us
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Space for guests to queue
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Osney, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us a contact for the day
