Thrupp is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Thrupp to Oxford (7 miles away).
For a fête or sports day at a school such as The Marlborough Church of England School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.

Mexican catering in Thrupp, served fresh
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. It works well for office lunches and team days and big birthday celebrations, serving loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a small place like Thrupp, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Thrupp, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Details that help

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?

When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
