Common questions in Henwood
What’s the nearest station to Henwood for guests?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 3.4 miles north-east of Henwood.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Henwood?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What documents can you send?
Share your trader requirements, and we will send what you ask for.
Henwood events: pitches and permissions
Henwood is about 3 miles north-west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. For an event in Henwood, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Henwood. Henwood is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Peter, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Wootton St Peter's Church of England Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly.
We serve at events all over OX1. Streets in the area include Cumnor Road, Hill View Lane and White Hill Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Wootton (1 mile south), Cumnor (1 mile north-west), Chawley (1 mile north), Appleton (2 miles west) and Dean Court (2 miles north).

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. At midsummer, events in Henwood stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
