Headington: your questions answered
Could you serve in Bury Knowle Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Which station is closest to Headington?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 2.6 miles west of Headington.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you park at my house?
Often, yes, if there’s level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send a photo and we will check.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Count adults and children separately
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Make sure there is a vegan option
- Add a diet question to the invitation
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Nachos for sharing while the party gets going.
Step by step
