Common questions in New Hinksey
How far is New Hinksey from central London?
It’s about 52 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station is closest to New Hinksey?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 1.3 miles north-west of New Hinksey.
Do you have vegan options?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
The process
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, it’s dark in New Hinksey at around 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Parking and the route in
- Staff for serving and the bar
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just send a quick message through our quote form.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Plan seating near the food area
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours, made to order.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
