La Tazzina

La Tazzina brings a taste of Italy to your event from our beautifully converted horsebox, with a menu centred around freshly prepared Italian focaccia sandwiches and authentic Italian Lavazza coffee.

Our focaccia sandwiches are made using a choice of sea salt or olive focaccia, with Italian-inspired fillings including prosciutto, mortadella, mozzarella and burrata, complemented by fresh ingredients and served hot (Panini Pressed) or cold.

Alongside our focaccia sandwiches, we serve a full range of barista-made coffees, iced coffees and affogatos, as well as milkshakes, cold drinks and freshly made crêpes for something a little sweeter.

From weddings and private celebrations to corporate events, festivals and larger gatherings, we can tailor our offering to suit the occasion, guest numbers and style of event.

What sets La Tazzina apart is the combination of fresh Italian-inspired food, great coffee and our distinctive converted horsebox. It gives guests somewhere inviting to gather throughout the day – whether that's for a morning coffee, a freshly made focaccia sandwich for lunch, an afternoon iced coffee or something sweet later on – all served with warm, friendly service.

La Tazzina was created from a love of Italian food, coffee and the simple idea that some of the best moments happen around good food. We wanted to create something that brought a little of that Italian feeling to events – relaxed, welcoming and centred around quality ingredients and great flavours.

The idea developed into our converted horsebox, with focaccia sandwiches at the heart of the menu. Rather than becoming another mobile coffee offering, we wanted La Tazzina to offer something more – freshly prepared using Italian-inspired ingredients, alongside great coffee, iced drinks and sweet treats.

What started as an idea has grown through trading at local events, festivals and regular pitches, where we've been able to learn first-hand what our customers enjoy and continue developing the La Tazzina offering.

We're still a small independent business, which means we genuinely care about every event we're invited to be part of. Whether we're serving a few hundred people at a festival or joining someone's wedding day, the aim is the same: great food, great coffee and warm Italian hospitality served from a horsebox with a little personality of its own.

La Tazzina is a growing independent business, and while our journey is still relatively new, we’ve already reached some exciting milestones.

Since launching, we’ve taken our converted horsebox from concept to a fully operational mobile catering business, trading at local festivals, community events, shows and regular pitches across Oxfordshire and the surrounding area.

Along the way, we’ve developed and refined our focaccia-led menu, built relationships with event organisers and venues, and gained valuable experience catering for different audiences and styles of event.

One of our biggest achievements so far has simply been seeing the La Tazzina concept come to life – watching customers return, discovering which products they love and continuing to grow the business with every event we attend.

We may be at the beginning of the La Tazzina story, but we’re ambitious about where it’s going next.

La Tazzina is suited to a wide range of events, from local festivals, shows and community gatherings to Music festivals, weddings, private celebrations and corporate events.

We’ve gained hands-on experience trading at festivals, summer events, shows and regular leisure pitches, serving everything from morning coffee through to focaccia lunches, cold drinks and sweet treats.

Our horsebox works particularly well at events where organisers want more than a standard catering unit – something visually distinctive that can provide both fresh food and a full drinks offering throughout the day.

We’re also available for weddings, parties, corporate events, business parks, sporting events and private hire, with the flexibility to adapt our menu and service to suit the occasion, guest numbers and time of day.

Whether it’s a large public event or a more intimate private occasion, we work closely with organisers to make sure the La Tazzina offering fits naturally into their event.
