Mexican catering in Donnington, served fresh
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and tacos, and it is a good fit for birthday parties and garden get-togethers.
For a place the size of Donnington, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.

Guests can use Oxford station, about 1.9 miles north-west of Donnington.
Do you do parties at home?

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.

Events we cater in Donnington
There’s no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.

- Family gatherings and christenings
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Engagement and anniversary parties
Thinking of an event in South Park? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.
What your quote should include
- Who provides plates and napkins
- Staff numbers and hours
- How each diet is kept separate
- Exactly what’s included in the price
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
