How our Mexican catering works in Kennington
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. For markets and community events and family celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a smaller place like Kennington, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Why choose Mexican catering in Kennington?
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and the smell of warm tortillas brings people over.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We’re happy to cater:
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Summer garden parties
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Swithun's CofE Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
What your quote should include
- VAT, if it applies
- Staff numbers and hours
- Payment terms and deposit
- A food hygiene rating you can check
How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, your venue or OX1 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
For event organisers in Kennington
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Kennington close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:

- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.

Kennington: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Swithun's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Kennington for guests?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
