Your questions about Mexican catering in Rooksdown
We are having a ceremony at The Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Which station is closest to Rooksdown?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 1.7 miles south-east of Rooksdown.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
