Mexican street food for your event in Ratley
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and burritos, and it suits hospitality and crew areas and festivals.
At a field event near Ratley, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Ratley
Do you cater in villages like Ratley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you come to Ratley?
We do. We serve at events in Ratley and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Schedule crew meals
Allergen details are on hand for every dish, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Our drinks bar, where the event’s licensing allows.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Perfect for your event in Ratley
Organisers book Mexican street food because it draws people into the food area.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Open-air performances

A fundraiser for a church like Church of St Peter Ad Vincula might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.

How we price Mexican street food
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event

- Diets and allergies you know about
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. By late September, it’s dark in Ratley at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
