Mexican catering in Boars Hill, from our truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. It suits summer garden parties and office lunches and team days, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burritos.
Somewhere like Boars Hill, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.

Boars Hill questions
Which station should guests use for Boars Hill?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Could you serve in Raleigh Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you cater for big events?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.

Why choose Mexican catering in Boars Hill?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Allergen information for every dish
- Access, space and power checked in advance

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In Boars Hill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
How to get a price
