Common questions in Bassett
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Bassett from central London?
It’s about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How much will it cost?
Every event is quoted for individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What else we do in Bassett
Mexican catering or something else?

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Planning a food truck in Bassett
Bassett is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. Whether your event is in the middle of Bassett or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 40 towns and villages across Southampton.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Michael and All Angels Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. If people are travelling in by rail, Swaythling station is about 1.5 miles away. The coast is within about 3 miles of Bassett, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission from the council or landowner.
This part of Southampton takes in SO16, SO17 and SO15, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Local streets include Burgess Road, Pointout Road and Chetwynd Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. For events just outside Bassett, we cover Highfield (1 mile south-east), Lordswood (1 mile west), Chilworth (1 mile north), Coxford (1 mile west) and Shirley (2 miles south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Thornhill (4 miles south-east), Chartwell Green (3 miles east), Harefield (3 miles south-east), Itchen (3 miles south-east), Sholing (4 miles south-east) and Woolston (4 miles south-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Netley Castle (4.9 miles south-east) and Foresters Museum & Archive (2.1 miles south). The countryside around Bassett includes Flexford Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Hollybrook Infant School (0.6 miles south-west) and Saint George Catholic Voluntary Aided College Southampton (1.3 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Bellemoor pub (0.9 miles south)
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
