A Mexican drinks bar in Shillingford: local tips
Shillingford is about 5 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Shillingford or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Shillingford is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Shillingford to Oxford (9 miles away).
Guests travelling by rail: the nearest station is Cholsey station, about 4.3 miles south. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of St Lawrence gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. An outdoor bar near the Chilterns National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Shillingford, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.

Local streets include Warborough Road, New Road and Hartley Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. We also serve at events in Warborough (1 mile north), Dorchester (1 mile north-west), Brightwell-cum-Sotwell (1 mile south-west), Benson (2 miles south-east) and Berrick Salome (2 miles north-east).

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Shillingford? 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.
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.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving.

- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.

- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Your date and when you want service to start

Planning drinks for every guest
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:

- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Ensure there is water for guests

FAQs for Shillingford
Do you come out to small places like Shillingford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
