Mexican catering in Upper Basildon, served fresh
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It works well for garden parties and weddings and evening receptions, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Upper Basildon, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

FAQs for Upper Basildon
We are having a ceremony at St Stephen's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How much will it cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cover Upper Basildon?
We do. Upper Basildon is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Planning for every diet
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.

Taco catering in Upper Basildon: local tips
Upper Basildon is about 7 miles north-east of Thatcham, in Oxfordshire. Events in Upper Basildon are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Upper Basildon is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we can bring Mexican catering. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 8 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Basildon Park (1.4 miles north-east) and Mapledurham House (4.7 miles east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. When the service is at a church such as St Stephen's Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the North Wessex Downs National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Upper Basildon. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
