Mexican catering near Charlton
How our Mexican catering works in Charlton
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. For company summer parties and christenings and family parties, we can serve burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a smaller place like Charlton, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Charlton
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
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 coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Taco catering in Charlton: local tips
Charlton is about 7 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. For an event in Charlton, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Charlton. Charlton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Charlton to Oxford (about 13 miles away).
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Charlton Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Thinking of an event in Betjeman Millennium Park? Public parks normally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Charlton, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.

Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Events we cater in Charlton
You do not need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.
In Charlton and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:

When the service is at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
What your quote should include

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. Winter evenings in Charlton close in by about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
