Mexican bar hire in Basingstoke, from our food truck or trailer
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, served by our bar staff. It works on its own or alongside our food. For themed celebrations and engagement celebrations, we will put together a menu of aguas frescas, soft drinks and Mexican beer for your guests.
Basingstoke has plenty of venues for drinks receptions and parties. Our drinks bar needs a level spot and a way in, at home or at a venue. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Common questions in Basingstoke
We’re having a ceremony at St Michael's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is Basingstoke close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Will someone run the bar?
Our bar staff run the bar. They serve responsibly.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Responsible serving comes first: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cover Basingstoke?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Basingstoke is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
