How our Mexican catering works in Shippon
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Shippon and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. It works well for markets and community events and engagement and anniversary parties, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Shippon, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Tell us what other food is being served
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.

How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Shippon until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Mexican catering or something else?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Shippon? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
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.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Shippon
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Shippon?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Planning a food truck in Shippon
Shippon is about 1 mile west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX13 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Shippon is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Shippon to Oxford (about 6 miles away).
A gathering in Albert Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Here we cover the OX13 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Chestnut Tree Close, Willow Tree Close and Whitehouse Close, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Shippon, we also cover Cothill (1 mile north-west), Dry Sandford (2 miles north-west), Marcham (2 miles south-west), Sutton Wick (2 miles south) and Frilford Heath (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Oxford (6 miles north-east), Didcot (6 miles south-east), Witney (11 miles north-west), Carterton (14 miles north-west), Thame (15 miles east) and Wantage (8 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Abingdon Community Hospital (0.8 miles south) and FitzHarris Castle (1 mile south-east). Not far away are Cumnor Hill and Dry Sandford Pit.
- Nearby schools include School of St Helen and St Katharine (0.5 miles south-east) and St Nicolas Church of England Primary School (0.9 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find Prince Of Wales pub (less than half a mile south-west)
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
