About our Mexican catering in Barton
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. We serve burritos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for company summer parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a smaller place like Barton, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Before you choose a spot

- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Guacamole and salsas, freshly made, with lime and fresh toppings.
Burritos and burrito bowls

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Questions from Barton
Which station should guests use for Barton?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 3.3 miles west of Barton.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you come to Barton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Barton and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What are your prices?
Every event is quoted for individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
