Mexican street food for Upton events
Mexican street food in Upton, served fresh
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. On the menu are tacos, burritos and quesadillas, which works well for village fêtes and summer fairs and open days and community events.
Near Upton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Running an event in Upton
Upton is about 2 miles south of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Upton and the surrounding area. Upton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Upton to Oxford (about 12 miles away).
Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St Mary could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. A school such as Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Shows and fairs in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, about 5 miles from Upton at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.
We serve at events all over OX11. Whether your event is on High Street, London Road and Pound Lane or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican street food there, given access.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
