How our Mexican catering works in Basingstoke
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 tell us your numbers. For retirement and leaving parties and big birthday celebrations, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos and more.
In a town the size of Basingstoke, street-food catering works at home, at hired venues and at work. Town-centre venues can have tight access or set loading times, so tell us how we can get in. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Daylight in Basingstoke runs to about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day

We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.

Basingstoke questions
Which station is closest to Basingstoke?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 0.6 miles east of Basingstoke.

About 46 miles from central London.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Basingstoke.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Comparing your options
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
