West Hendred: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for West Hendred?
Guests can use Didcot Parkway station, about 4.9 miles east of West Hendred.
Will you travel to a small place like West Hendred?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you come to a private house?
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, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
Mexican catering in West Hendred, served fresh
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around West Hendred: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. It works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and leaving dos and retirement parties, with burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like West Hendred, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Comparing your options
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in West Hendred? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December event in West Hendred will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
