FAQs for Basingstoke
What’s the nearest station to Basingstoke for guests?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 0.6 miles east of Basingstoke.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
How is the food prepared?
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.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.

What happens on the day

In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Distance from houses and windows
