DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.

What else we do in Balscote
Hosting a taco party in Balscote
Balscote is about 4 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Parties in Balscote are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in 443 places across Oxfordshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Balscote to Oxford (about 24 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Upton House (2.8 miles north-west) and Broughton Castle (2.8 miles south-east). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. Once the service at a church like Church of St Mary Magdalene is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue.
Here we cover the OX15 postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Shutford (1 mile south), Alkerton (1 mile north-west), Shenington (1 mile north-west), Epwell (2 miles west) and Tadmarton (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Banbury (4 miles east), Chipping Norton (10 miles south-west), Neithrop (3 miles east), Grimsbury (5 miles east), Ruscote (3 miles east) and Bloxham (4 miles south-east).

- Nearby, you will find The Butchers Arms Public House (within half a mile west)
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. December parties in Balscote are dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:30pm.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Questions from Balscote
Do you cater in villages like Balscote?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you come to Balscote?
Yes, we do. Balscote is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

How we price Mexican party catering
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of where we’d park
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How it compares
Unlike a barbecue, there’s no waiting for the next batch, and there’s no host stuck at the grill. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
