How our Mexican party catering works in Kidlington
You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, no cooking and no washing up of pans. We take care of the food. It works well for big family gatherings and milestone birthdays, with guacamole and salsas, tacos and loaded nachos.
Parties around Kidlington are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in, with power and water agreed beforehand. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Party venues around Kidlington
Kidlington is about 5 miles north-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Tell us where your party in Kidlington will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We serve in 443 places across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Once the service at a church like Church of St Mary is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Oxford Parkway station, about 1.3 miles south.
Wherever your party is in OX5, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a party at a home with a drive on High Street, Sterling Road and Exeter Road. Being close to the A4260, Kidlington is easy for us to reach. Close by, we cover parties in Gosford (1 mile south-east), Hampton Poyle (1 mile north-east), Islip (2 miles east), Bletchingdon (2 miles north) and Enslow (3 miles north).

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Warn the neighbours about the truck
Rain doesn’t stop the hatch, though guests will want cover to eat under.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings.

Why choose Mexican party catering in Kidlington?
Compared with a barbecue, a food truck serves steadily from the start, and there is no host stuck at the grill. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A party in Kidlington in late May has daylight until about 9:00pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Kidlington: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Kidlington?
Guests can use Oxford Parkway station, about 1.3 miles south of Kidlington.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Kidlington?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many staff you need
- How long we are needed on site
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
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, your venue or OX5 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
Events we cater in Kidlington
It suits mixed ages and mixed diets, from children to grandparents.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Housewarmings
- Summer garden parties
- Naming days and christenings
Historic houses near Kidlington include Blenheim Palace (3.5 miles north-west) and Holywell Manor, Oxford (4.8 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
What to look for in a quote
- The deadline for final numbers
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- VAT, if it applies
- What the caterer needs from your venue
